We sent questions to the ANC, DA, EFF, IFP, FF Plus, ActionSA, PA, MK Party and RISE Mzansi

We asked the ANC, DA, EFF, IFP, FF Plus, ActionSA, PA, MK Party, and RISE Mzansi on 13 March and sent follow-up queries to those who did not respond. Some have still not responded.There is an opportunity for the South Africa n Post Office to play an important role within communities, especially those in rural and mostly under-serviced regions of the country. These opportunities have however not been exploited in the past.

Using SAPO in our attempt to lessen the digital divide. Bringing internet to poor and rural communities through the provision of free public wifi from SAPO sites, acting as ICT contact, training and educational centres, and the provision of a multitude of additional e-services. These services can include but are not limited to the issuing of motor vehicle discs and licence renewals, payment of municipal accounts, and the collection of social welfare grants.

In response to these challenges, the EFF has outlined a comprehensive strategy to rejuvenate SAPO. Central to our approach is a commitment to alleviate SAPO's financial burdens by eliminating all existing debts, providing the organisation with a clean slate to initiate its recovery journey. Moreover, the EFF emphasises the importance of modernising SAPO's infrastructure, promoting digitisation to ensure that SAPO remains competitive in a rapidly evolving postal landscape.
