SAPO strike

By South African Post Office Ltd. | Published 15 May 2012

We are receiving complaints from subscribers regarding their magazine delivery and the SAPO strike in certain areas. This is the latest communication from the SAPO Communication department:

Dear Client

Our ultimate goal remains rendering the quality of service our customers deserve. To this end we are working tirelessly to reach a negotiated settlement that will ensure a long-term solution on this matter.

We have already made great strides in resolving this matter and have also put in place contingency measures to ensure that we are still able to service our customers while the negotiations are ongoing.
