CISKEI - what is this ??

[Marcon1]

Hiya,

 

I've seen this medal on 2 occasions and still don't know what it really is - official or a private issue ??

 

 

 

It's now on offer on Bobshop for R 1475 and described as = original Ciskei TBVC ex RSA Bantustan dd "1981" freedom or establishment (neck worn) medal/medallion  (Civilian order/ award?) someone has suggested that this might have been the celebratory award handed to traditional leaders and chiefs etc. at the time of Ciskei Independence 05 Dec 1981 (?).

 

Does anyone know more (Archie/Megan ??) - please let me know.

Thank you.
