I have been advised by the South African Post Office (SAPO) as follows:-
a) list of branches that are due to close:
|
Gauteng (Most of Gauteng and Vaal Triangle) |
17 |
|
Northern region (North Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West) |
41 |
|
Western region (Western Cape, Northern Cape) |
28 |
|
Eastern region (Eastern Cape) - |
24 |
|
Central (Free State, North West) |
104 |
|
KwaZulu-Natal (KwaZulu-Natal) |
21 |
|
TOTAL |
235 |
The Joint Business Rescue Practitioners (BRPs) are not prepared to share the actual list of branches as it stands to be amended whilst the process of liaising with landlords is in progress and the possibility of branch relocations are at hand. Once the list is finalised, same will be provided.
(b) The BRPs have advised that they cannot disclose the proposed number of employees that will face retrenchment as the Section 189A facilitation process conducted by the CCMA is underway. The disclosure of a proposed number prior to the conclusion of the facilitation process jeopardizes the course of action.
Thank you
