The Free State is a Province in South Africa established in 854 as the Orange Free State and later renamed in 1995. It is better known as the breadbasket of South Africa because of its fertile plains, gold-rich fields, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as the Vredefort Dome. The Province of Free State itself has postal codes ranging from 1911 (Roodia in Fezile Dabi) to 9992 (Bethulie in Xhariep), representing all its five districts and 20 municipalities, streamlining services from e-commerce to government aid.

The South African Postal Code System
Since its introduction on October 8, 1973, the South African Postal Code Office has managed all the postal codes for all the provinces in the nation, including the Free State Province.
The South African postal code system consists of four digits, each with a significant function. For example, the first digit usually identifies a province, and in the case of the Free State, postal codes typically begin with the number 9 . The second and third digits indicate the specific municipality or location where the mail should be delivered, and the final digit often distinguishes between different types of delivery, such as street addresses, PO Boxes, or private bags.
In simpler terms, South African postal codes consist of four digits. Street addresses often end in 01, while PO Boxes usually end in 00. PO Boxes are more commonly used in remote areas due to limited street delivery. It is important to mention that ZIP codes (Zone Improvement Plan codes) are not used in South Africa—they are specific to the United States.
