Not if post office employees run them.

Eish, the computer is down, I can't sell you anything.
Mysteriously the stock also disappears.

Thats pretty much how that would roll out.

So if the branched are closed, then it must mean that thousands of staff is sitting at home collecting a paycheck

"The Post Office is currently considering selling or letting vacant properties.”

You gotta love this:

“To secure the Post Office’s future, the focus is on finding practical, long-term solutions that modernise its operations and make it more competitive.”

Moloto said this includes exploring strategic partnerships that bring in financial and operational expertise, and reviewing existing regulations to ensure they support a more innovative and efficient postal service.

Using regulations to make something competitive, that's like fixing a broken car by making it illegal for a car to break down.
It's doesn't get more Commie than this.
F**ing muppets.

Apparently, they are researching a postal order than can be faxed. Their top and brighter minds are busy with this.

Gonna be another war room given millions of rand. They gonna decide that post is paper and since they are the post office they own paper. Everyone in the country using paper must now pay a license fee to the post office.
