Post Office cannot pay staff's medical aid contributions while carrying partial cost of grants

The South African Post Office (Sapo) was subsidising the government's R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grants even while it couldn't afford to pay medical aid contributions for its employees, despite deducting them from salaries.

Post Office CEO Nomkhita Mona, during an interview with SABC News, explained that the Post Office subsidises half of the costs associated with paying the grants.

“One of the big albatrosses on our shoulders is the fact that we inherited billions of debt from previous people who had managed the Post Office,” she said.

Funny that before the ANC started meddling ,the POST OFFICE was a thriving business.

Just an additional business that has been run into the ground.

Then why the F did you tender and said you can do it at the price you quoted?

They just be doing early alpha testing of NHI implementation.

That is the case for EVERY SOE.
Every SOE is bankrupt because the ANC wants to enrich their cadres.

Because the tender money goes to ANC cadres

Vehicle License Disk Office in my case (no extra fees, and given out real time, I do not want to hear about Spar or whatever other service with extra fees).

Sorry, "offline", then "no paper" with one serving the queue each time ... (last month)

Spar would work better saving time and petrol money for multiple trips.

Mine also works flawlessly, and I also see a good number of people on the on the other cashiers besides the license one, so I take it the normal business of the post office is still happening.

[Supervan II]

Everyone talking about service delivery, or lack thereof, yet not one iota about the SAPO's blatant theft from their own staff?

Runs in the family, of course - Lootfreely house not paying UIF/PAYE, etc, etc

You are lucky.

All the PO's close to home and work have closed doors.

For both I have to drive far to dodge area with no parking and long queues.
