Pretoria - Telecommunications and Postal Services Minister Siyabonga Cwele says the South African Post Office (SAPO) is on the right track.
Giving an update on Friday on the labour and financial agreements that SAPO has entered into with workers and financial institutions this week, the Minister said a new dawn has arrived at the Post Office.
Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa was appointed by Cabinet to oversee the implementation of the SAPO turnaround strategy.
“The board has informed me that SAPO has signed an agreement with recognised trade unions and other representatives of workers that settles wages and conditions of employment from 2014/2015, 2015/2016 until the period ending 2016/2017.
“I’m further advised that this agreement supersedes all previous agreements and brings to finality all historical labour issues. We thank the workers of SAPO for understanding that the company was facing financial challenges..." said Minister Cwele.
The Post Office in recent years faced challenges that led to the interruption of services. - SAnews.gov.za
