Right - we at Mukuru thought it high time to think of something MORE useful than fuel,money and DStv that we could help out with back home. Then it struck us. What about your relatives back in Zim that don't have email or internet, or even mobile phones - they're missing out on your adventures out there! We also figured out that the only way you're really communicating with them is probably by post - But Sha!... the postage from Unit K or USA is tight, and more than that it can be a hassle to put pen to paper, go and put the stamps, then head to the post office. And even those of us that DO sort this out, we can wait for weeks for the letter to hit H-town, get sorted, and make it's way to to your friend or loved one.

So we are extraordinarily proud and pleased to bring you Mukuru Post, a digital postman if you like. You log on to Mukuru.com, write your friend a letter online - click post... and that's that - we'll pop it out in Harare and get it posted for you right away - whereever you want in Zimbabwe - and what's more....it's absolutely free!!! Well, we're going to try and make it free for as long as possible, so please use it at will but don't abuse us sha.

What about security?
Well, we will automatically store your old letters and recipients so you can re-use addresses and letters when you like - but if you wish you can delete either at anytime. We will also be storing your letters in an encrypted format so that even if someone were snooping around our systems that wouldn't be able to read your love letters! We do ask however that politically sensitive or propogandist content be curbed as we wouldn't want to get into any trouble - and we really want this great service to thrive.
