🇹🇿 Tanzania - Steven Zirinsky reports surcharges/overprints from Zanzibar and Pemba.

I have in this Blog, over recent years, reported from time to time the appearance of various surcharges from the postal service of modern-day Tanzania. Of course I have no expertise in the modern issues of that country and no local access to them and I only take an interest in them as part of my Commonwealth stamps collection. I was therefore very interested in and even startled when I read the new Newsletter by Steven Zirinsky, the expert on modern surcharges. Fascinatingly he states,  “Modern Tanzania (post-1980s) has: …. Local post office overprints in Zanzibar and Pemba ….”. I searched the site of Mr Zirinsky’s internet shop but could find no examples that I could recognise but  I look forward to discovering more about these items. As I say, these items sound fascinating as well as any other previously unreported general surcharge issues from Tanzania.
