The South African Post Office failed again to pay over employees' medical aid contributions to its medical aid provider, Medipos.
DA MP Diane Kohler-Barnard said she would report SAPO to the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation, and Arbitration. For the second time in the past two months, the South African Post Office failed to pay over staff medical aid contributions to its medical aid provider, Medipos, as the entity's financial crisis continues to deepen.
In October, trade union Solidarity had to take SAPO to the Labour Court in order to compel it to pay R4.5 million in contributions. A month later, SAPO again failed to keep up with the contributions of its thousands of employees. DA MP Diane Kohler-Barnard said in a statement that she would report SAPO management to the CCMA over the crisis.
Kohler-Barnard dismissed any suggestion that the medical aid crisis was due to the entity's financial position, referring to the debacle as"absolute fraud".SAPO spokesperson Johan Kruger told News24 that the entity had struggled yet again to pay medical aid contributions for November because of its financial troubles, but that it was playing open cards with staff and working towards a solution.
