Hi Arthur R - Do you have a similar illustration of the Transkei medal ribbons?

Hi Again, Perhaps you can help me with this Medal? - also do you have an illustration of the Ciskei Defence forrce ribbons like those posted for Venda and Bop?

Hi

This looks like the Ciskei Police Medal for the Maintenance of Law & Order, a.k.a. the State Security Medal. If so, it should have the Ciskei coat of arms on the reverse, and the ribbon would be the blue one with orange edges and two white lines as shown in the chart.

Unfortunately, I don't have much info on Ciskei Defence Force or on Transkei ribbons, and what I have is unconfirmed. Documentation is hard to come by - the homeland governments don't seem to have been too efficient about publishing the regulations in their Government Gazettes - and as a result one sees medals with all sorts of strange ribbons on them.
