Post Office Amendment Bill signed into law

President Cyril Ramaphosa has signed the South African Post Office Amendment Bill into law, setting the stage for a significant transformation of the country’s postal service into a modern, multi-functional hub for government, business, and community services.

The new law expands the objects and mandate of the Post Office and enables its relevance and sustainability by including services that respond to the needs of users and customers.

This states that they are now allowed to expand into courier services. Wonder if they will actually start delivering things or use this to scalp existing couriers.

Is this the same Bill that bars private couriers from delivering sub-1kg packages?

A bill and legislation is one thing. Are the skills available to manage all these additional services? Are they going to compete with Postnet and PUDO, who have more branches and presence than the PO ever did?

Unless a better service, with typical PO bureaucracy absent, this will never take off and is doomed from the start

Our local PO was in a building managed by Trafalgar. The rent was last paid in January 2018 and they were evicted in September 2022. Requests to pay were ignored and a summons was issued in February 2024. This has been postponed several times by PO attorneys. At the moment just over R1,6m is owing

And this is just one branch
 
LOL, very few people are going to use the Post Office irrespective of laws the ANC scum try enact. Another extremely bad decision from a party that has managed to destroy a country in under 30 years and which is intent on destroying what little remains. This is nothing more then a jobs for votes deal with a big leaning towards lootable funding.
