The province of Zambezia ( Mozambique ) was established in 1894 by combining Tete, an inland territory and Quelimane which became Zambezia's capital city. Portuguese stamps for Zambezia were overprinted
" Republica " beginning in 1911 when Portugal became a republic after constitutional monarchy was deposed. During this period the colony of Mozambique was not yet centralized and communication between the various Portuguese outposts was difficult. To overcome this problem, the various provinces issued their own stamps including Zambezia ( 1894 - 1917 )
