The reason for the closure is unknown. However, a post on Post Office South Africa’s Facebook page last week read:
The Hyper by the Sea Post Office in Durban will close permanently on 23 November 2021. Alternatives are the Durban Main Post Office and Durban North Post Office. Our sincere apology for the inconvenience.
Last week, the South Africa Post Office (SAPO) noted that there have been some internal changes within the agency. SAPO said it has ‘tightened and improved internal controls in an effort to improve its service to its customers.’
“The SAPO is committed to focusing on financing operational requirements while implementing the turnaround plan, adhering to an implementation plan developed for the Post Office of Tomorrow Strategy, supported by strict control measures,” said SAPO spokesperson, Johan Kruger.
Also on the agenda is to develop a training and reskilling programme for employees at all levels to ensure that their skills are in line with the requirements of a modern postal service.
“A portion of the funding will be utilised to partly settle liabilities and to finance voluntary severance packages. The SA Post Office has achieved good progress in becoming part of the growing e-commerce sector and continues to source new business,” said Kruger.
