Issued in 1996, this three-stamp set from Botswana commemorates the birth of radio communications in the nation. The 20t stamp titled “Radio Botswana is Born” depicts a child tuning into the first local broadcasts, marking the dawn of public radio service. The 50t value shows Radio Botswana’s mobile unit and transmitter, symbolizing the expansion of broadcasting across rural regions. The 80t stamp, titled “Local Police ‘Roger Roger’”, highlights the role of radio in improving communication and coordination within law enforcement. Designed by P. Lodden, the set honors Botswana’s journey from modest beginnings to a modern communications network.
