South African Post Office issued stamps on 9 October 2026 for the 150th anniversary of Sol Plaatje’s birth. Noordkaap Bulletin’s same-day report describes a miniature booklet containing two registered-small-letter stamps and a sheet of four stamps at the same rate.

Designer Thea Clemons constructed Plaatje’s portrait from words drawn from his novel Mhudi. The illustrated sheet combines that word portrait with the anniversary emblem. The issue commemorates the writer, journalist and political figure through a design rooted in his literary work.
