The Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies has announced further post office closures and job losses.
The South African Post Office says that 235 more post offices are set to close their doors in 2024, with more retrenchments coming as a result.
“The BRPs have advised that they cannot disclose the proposed number of employees that will face retrenchment as the Section 189A facilitation process conducted by the CCMA is underway. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, there were roughly 1,300 Post Office branches nationwide. This means that over a third of all post office branches in the country have now shut down in just a few years.
