This note had dropped an N in the reverse bottom Xitsonga text, compared to the previous notes. This sparked a debate about it being a spelling mistake or not.
“BangiNkulu” vs. “Bangikulu”
The South African Reserve Bank and Pan African Language Board argue their case for the deliberate change here: https://businesstech.co.za/news/finance/711436/spelling-error-on-new-south-african-bank-notes-finally-put-to-rest/
Short conclusion is, it is not a spelling mistake and the previous banknotes with this spelling are actually the one being misspelled.
