A travelling post office was included on the South African Railways train that took Imperial Press Union delegates on a trip through southern Africa.

The two postmasters were seconded by the Rhodesian Government for the Rhodesian-leg of the journey.

Postmarks

A special postmark was available on the Southern Rhodesia leg of the journey between 14th-17th February (Salisbury). However, postmark dates exist from the 12th to the 20th.

South Africa also had a special postmark, as shown above.
