Post Office spokesperson Johan Kruger says the manager was overpowered when he opened the branch.
This comes after a branch in Grassy Park was robbed on Thursday. The branch manager was overpowered by two armed men who made off with cash.
He says Sassa has already started upgrading physical security at all branches and adds that on pension paydays, cash drops are staggered to ensure that cash does not pose an unacceptable risk at any time of the day. “The Post Office is upgrading security at all branches nationally. We are putting focus on all high risk branches.”
