history

After Mozambique gained independence, the colonial (Portuguese) Post CTT continued until 1981. Only then did the Mozambican government set up its own Mozambican post office, at the same time as the Mozambican Telecomunicações de Moçambique (TDM). The new post office took over all the facilities of the previous Portuguese post office CTT and also moved into the premises of the main post office building in the center of Maputo.

In 1992 the company was transformed into a public company ( Empresa Pública , EP). Valdemar Sérgio Jessen has headed the company as Chairman of the Board of Directors ( Presidente do Conselho de Administração ) since 2015 .

Due to difficult economic conditions and a high level of debt, Chairman of the Board of Directors Jessen announced in April 2019 that the number of employees should be reduced from 620 to 326 nationwide - overall, a good 73 percent of company spending would amount to personnel costs. In addition, the company is considering selling five branch buildings and selling half of the company's shares.

Services and infrastructure

Correios de Moçambique is represented in all provinces of Mozambique , in most of the districts there is a branch of the company in the respective district capital.

The company offers the usual postal services (sending standard letters, faxes, telegrams, parcels). Standard mail was never very important in Mozambique and is also losing ground.

At the direction of the Mozambican government, the company has reoriented itself in recent years and opened up other market sectors. Sun founded Correios de Moçambique a Postbank to use to take advantage of well-developed infrastructure and branch out to more people in Mozambique to give a stake in financial services. Among other things, Postbank grants microloans.

In 2014, the Post founded the subsidiary PostBus and was thus able to offer additional and better transport connections and goods transport in Mozambique. Between October 2014 and March 2015, the Postbuses carried 14,000 passengers.
