Postos of Mozambique

The [districts](/source/Districts_of_Mozambique) of [Mozambique](/source/Mozambique) are divided into 405 *postos*.

*Postos administrativos* (administrative posts) are the main subdivisions of [districts](/source/Districts_of_Mozambique). This name, in use during colonial times, was abolished after independence,[1] and was replaced by *localidades* (localities). However, it was re-established in 1986.[2]

Administrative posts are headed by a *Secretário* (secretary), which before independence were called *Chefes de Posto* (post chief).

Administrative posts can be further subdivided into localities, also headed by secretaries.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]
