ZIMPOST celebrates 20th anniversary


7 Sep 2020

The year 2020 marks ZIMPOST’s 20th anniversary following the unbundling of Posts and Telecommunications Corporation (PTC) and subsequent formation of ZIMPOST and other successor companies.

The year also marks 130 years of Postal Services in Zimbabwe since the establishment of the first Post Office in Rhodesia in 1890.

The first Post Offices were opened in the then Southern Rhodesia in 1890 and in 1892 when the British South African Company (BSAC) organised first postal service and ran the service as a self-governing institution under the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunication.

The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunication became a Federal Ministry in the Federation of Southern Rhodesia, Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland in 1954. – The Herald
