Post office strike continues

Residents still awaiting delivery of parcels as Post Office strikes continue.

The Post Office strike, which has disrupted mail delivery countrywide, continues with no end in sight.

Mail delivery in four centres , Gauteng, Bloemfontein, Cape Town and Polokwane, has come to a standstill  as a result of industrial action and incidents of intimidation.

The strike began on August 18 and as a result mail in these areas as well as mail originating from this area is affected.

Employees at post office outlets are not on strike, but a number of post offices in the Cape Town and Johannesburg areas were closed for the safety of customers and staff following threats of violence.

The post office’s call centre is also closed and customers are requested to send an e-mail to socialmedia@postoffice.co.za to enquire about mail items.  Customers should include a tracking number with their enquiry.

Have you been affected by the strikes? Are you still waiting for parcels to be delivered? Let us know on our Facebook page.
