Mangochi Post Office

Mangochi Post Office is a post office on the M3 road in Mangochi, the headquarters town of Mangochi District in Malawi's Southern Region. It forms part of the network of Malawi Posts Corporation (MPC), the national postal operator. MPC is the statutory corporation responsible for the postal service and some financial services in Malawi. It was created in June 2000, when the former Malawi Posts and Telecommunications Corporation was restructured under the Communications Act of 1998, and has its headquarters in Blantyre. It runs about 180 post offices and 154 postal agencies nationwide. Across that network MPC offers letter post and parcels, post office boxes and stationery, money transfers within Malawi and abroad, and payment of utility and telephone bills; which of these are available at the Mangochi counter has not been published. Postal services in Malawi are regulated by the Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (MACRA). Mangochi, known in colonial times as Fort Johnston, grew from a defence post set up by the administrator Sir Harry Johnston in the 1890s. The town lies near the southern end of Lake Malawi, between the lakeshore road and the Shire River, and had 53,498 residents at the 2018 census. Buses between Monkey Bay and Blantyre stop there, and the Lake Malawi Museum displays ethnographic, environmental and historical exhibits. MPC has not published opening hours or a direct telephone number for the Mangochi office.
