In Malawi’s early colonial days, writing a letter and sending it to a loved one set a complicated logistical postal system into motion. While the Home Office might design a “big-picture” strategy for mail delivery, the postal system at the local level required ingenuity and innovation.
A letter would pass through many hands, like a baton in a relay race. The letter would travel by land and water, and if fortunate, bypass curious hippos and hungry lions. Considering the thousands of miles a letter would travel from Zomba to England, it was a testament to the innovative postal system in Malawi (then Nyasaland) that it ever arrived at all. But letters did arrive and the postal system eventually became a successful and powerful service in Nyasaland.
