After enquiries from the public about Farrarmere Post Office and the postboxes at Sheridan Shopping Centre having “moved”, the Benoni City Times has ascertained that the postboxes were, in fact, stolen.
A case of theft was opened, according to the Benoni SAPS.
This was after Johan Kruger, of the SA Post Office’s communications division, responded to our query as follows:
“The postboxes at Farrarmere were not removed by the SA Post Office.
“The postboxes disappeared overnight, and the matter was reported to SAPS. The boxes will be replaced as soon as possible to ensure the customers continue to receive a service. We will get back to you with an update as soon as possible.”
Further attempts to reach Kruger were unsuccessful as, also overnight, he became a former employee of the SA Post Office, according to his “out of office” automated response.
We have also not been able to reach Kruger’s replacement for comment.
