Post Office Amendment Bill signed into law

[deweyzeph]

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

One of the downfalls of the PO, besides bad management, is that they simply charged too little for their services in the name of "accessibility". But you cannot run a successful business where you sell services for less than the cost of supplying those services. Eventually you run out of money.

The reason that private courier companies are thriving in SA is because they are free to charge whatever the market will accept for their services. They do not run at a loss because they are able to charge a realistic price for their services that both enables them to run a world-class service AND enables to them make a profit.
