SAA set to suspend services to SAPO - COPE

SAA SET TO SUSPEND SERVICES TO SAPO

Congress of the People has just learnt that SAA will cease carrying mail to and from overseas postal services because of SAPO's failure to pay for the service.

We need to question why so many institutions are collapsing in a heap under President Zuma's watch. Why is this, the largest government in the world, failing to manage our institutions and economy properly, effectively and successfully? If postal services collapse, the impact on the economy will be very severe.

SAPO, it seems, is bankrupt and in all sorts of financial trouble.

Congress of the People wants urgent and detailed answers from the government. People of South Africa, likewise, will want the same answers too.
