A specialist report published on 7 November illustrates Botswana’s honey-badger issue, comprising four stamps and a miniature sheet with one stamp. Commonwealth Stamps Opinion attributes the design to Omphile Sephako and reports lithographic printing.

The miniature sheet is headed “Honey Badger — Botswana’s Fearless Forager”. Its P40 stamp depicts the animal standing on a fallen branch; the surrounding illustration shows another honey badger with a piece of honeycomb, with bees nearby. The stamp identifies the animal as Mellivora capensis and bears the designer’s name.

The set had also appeared in an October report on Spectre Stamps. The two accounts disagree about the February release day: Commonwealth Stamps Opinion gives 24 February, while Spectre Stamps gives 26 February. Both identify the same honey-badger subject. The November report therefore supplies newly encountered illustrations of an earlier issue.
