Afrika Stamps?

I had got some stamps and posted them up here but everyone said they were all fairly common so I put them back in my safe and didn't look at them until now and I noticed that some say afrika? I have never seen or heard of it spelt that way so what is it? Do they have any value?

are these from South Africa? if so, then nothing special. South Africa is a multi-lingual country. for many years, stamps, as well as coins and currency, were issued in both English (South Africa) and Afrikaans (Suid Afrika). recently they have expanded into using several other languages (not sure which ones off the top of my head).

Kuhli is quite right.
Afrika is the normal spelling in both German and Afrikaans. So yours are likely to be either:
a) pre 1918 German colonies (Deutsches Ost Afrika or Deutsches SuidWes Afrika). A lot of these are quite desirable.
b) Post 1910 South Africa/Namibia (Suid Afrika/SuidWes Afrika). There are masses of these, and the bulk of them are likely to be bog-standard.

Actually, "Africa" was the name given by the Romans to the area around Carthage (close to nowadays Tunis). It later, became the name of a Roman province on the Central Northern Africa coast. As it was (believe or not!) amongst the richest of the Roman Empire, the name extended to all the continent behind it.
For this reason, Latin languages such as Italian, Portuguese, Catalan, French, Romanian, Galician, and Spanish use the spelling "Africa"; while German group languages, as German, Dutch, Afrikaans, Swedish, Danish... use the word "Afrika". As English is a German language with much Latin influence, it uses the "Africa" spelling.
I'm not familiar with Slavic languages; so I don't know which word they use...

Africa in Slovenian, Afrika in Croat and (allowing for the alphabet)Serbian and Macedonian.

By the way, that same thing goes for the continent and country some of us live in. The Germanis spelling of the word America is Amerika! Peter
