1915
The Mafia Island, belonging to the former German East Africa, was occupied by British troops in January 1915. Shortly afterwards a post office was opened in Klindini. As the British consolidated their hold on the region, the Germans retreated joining the Mafia Island to the neighbouring former German East Africa.
