Ankolo Courier is set to return to business next month after nearly three years of inactivity following the loss of its operating licence.

The courier company has announced that it will resume operations on July 14, 2026, after obtaining approval from the Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (MACRA) for its proposed tariff structure.

In a statement released on Thursday, the company said the approval completes all regulatory requirements needed for its comeback.

“Following this milestone, Ankolo Courier will officially resume operations on Tuesday, 14 July 2026,” reads part of the statement.

The return marks a major turnaround for the local courier firm, whose operations came to an abrupt halt in November 2023 after MACRA revoked its courier licence over regulatory compliance issues.

At the time, the decision forced the company to suspend its services, leaving many customers and businesses that had come to rely on its delivery network searching for alternatives.

Ankolo Courier says it will reopen with service centres in Blantyre and Lilongwe. The Blantyre office will be located on Victoria Avenue opposite the Immigration Office, while the Lilongwe branch will operate from Bluefin Mall along Mchinji Road before Sana Store.

The company says more service centres will be rolled out in phases as part of its national expansion plans.

Before its closure, Ankolo Courier had gained popularity for its same-day deliveries, next-day shipping and local pickup services, positioning itself as one of the country’s emerging delivery firms.

The company has thanked customers, business partners and stakeholders for their patience and support during the period it remained out of operation.

Under the slogan “Built Again. Built Better,” Ankolo Courier says it is ready to return to the market with renewed focus on providing reliable, affordable and customer-centred courier services.
