ANC hails ‘milestone’ as Post Office applies to exit business rescue
The ANC has welcomed the South African Post Office’s (SAPO) application to exit business rescue, hailing the move as a critical turning point in restoring the State-owned entity to operational health.
The decision marks a significant step in a broader turnaround strategy designed to ensure SAPO can fully discharge its national postal and digital mandates.
Central to this milestone has been a major R381-million government investment injection.
The ANC emphasised that this financial support played a pivotal role in maintaining continuous daily operations, safeguarding jobs, and providing relief to 5 956 employees who faced severe economic uncertainty.
According to the ruling party, the structural progress achieved during the rescue process is aimed at transforming SAPO into a “highly viable, service-oriented institution”.
Beyond fixing internal operations, the party explained that this stabilisation is a key component of a larger national agenda, intended to rebuild public trust in key national institutions while restoring confidence in government's overall capacity to manage State-owned enterprises.
Ultimately, a revitalised Post Office is expected to contribute meaningfully to local economic development, job creation, and broader economic transformation, the party said.
Reaffirming its position on State-owned infrastructure, the ANC believes that the Post Office remains one of South Africa’s most vital strategic entities.
The formal application to exit business rescue is seen as a development that instils long-term hope, stability, and commercial credibility back into the institution, the party said.
