Zero punishment for Post Office's package delivery failures

South Africa's communications regulator has seemingly not taken action against the South African Post Office (SAPO) despite the state-owned company failing to meet a regulatory obligation of its postal services licence for several years.

At the same time as it has failed to meet the condition, SAPO has attempted to use its title as the country's sole postal service to assert it has a legal monopoly on deliveries of all packages weighing 1kg.
 
Everybody should crap in a box and post it.
That would be fun to watch.
 
He said it was not entirely clear why Icasa had not conducted such an inquiry despite SAPO failing to meet the threshold for several years.

Although SAEPA had not lodged a complaint about this itself, it had drawn Icasa and the Department of Communications and Digital Technologies’ attention to the deficiencies of the Post Office in various other forums.
Why not? A successful complaint would be of great benefit to SAEPA.
