I have been informed by the Department as follows:
(a) Yes, there are currently three (3) vacancies.
(b) The Department called for nominations of persons suitable for appointment to the Board of the South African Post Office (SAPO). The response did not yield suitable candidates in terms of the skills requirements in line with the provisions of the SAPO Act. The Department is now pursuing other means of sourcing the suitable candidates including headhunting.
