Ntokozo Senwamere: The government should fight and make sure that the post office does not get closed, as this will affect many people in the country.
The SA Post Office is essentially bankrupt, as it owes creditors at least R4.4 billion that it cannot afford to repay and it has recorded financial losses for the past 15 years. Northcliff Melville Times went to the Cresta Post Office and asked those coming in and out of the post office about their views on the matter.
Here is what they said:
Tsakani Ngobeni: I am sad. What is going to happen to people who get their Sassa money from the post office if it gets closed, especially old people, because they cannot use the ATMS.Tebogo Dlamini: I am disappointed in our government, because this matter could have been avoided. People in power are abusing their power by eating our government`s money.Omphile Gumbi: It’s a bad situation, because people might lose their jobs if it gets closed, and it’s going to be tough for them to feed their families and loved ones.
