The company Correios de Moçambique is undergoing a privatization process since 2021. Hundreds of employees live in a situation of uncertainty, without knowing until when they will have work.

The government announced last year by decree that one of the most represented public companies in the country was to be privatized. Since then, Estanislau Tenense, one of the company's 350 employees has been "desperate.

"The company still works. We still receive national and international letters, but until when?" the employee questions. "The company is in a process of extinction and we are all going home, creating problems. We are desperate," he explained to RFI.

A postal operator for eight years, Estanislau is in charge of arriving and sending parcels. As for the letters, they too seem to be on the verge of extinction. "Sending out of the country is rare, we send more national letters. When I came here I didn't know how to send a letter or fill out an envelope. I learned a lot," he recalls.

At the post office there is room for games of luck. Dinis Afonso Varela works in front of the Mozambique Post Office building, in the fruit house, and tries his luck once a week. "I'm betting to win the prize, but these games are complicated," he confesses.

The process of liquidating the Correios de Moçambique company is coming to an end. Over the past year and a half, the government has evaluated the company's assets and debts to its 350 employees.
