It is time for President Ramaphosa to step in and deal with non-performing Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni.
A prime example of her Department’s failings, is the latest egregious behaviour of the SA Post Office (SAPO) management, as revealed to the Democratic Alliance. Showing that the South African Post Office will no longer be able to pay its employees voluntary severance packages, the inevitable outcome for an entity that is utterly bankrupt.
An employee is offered a voluntary severance package as a means of motivating them to resign or retire, which is usually done as a company tries to reduce its workforce and its payroll costs.
