I have been advised by SAPO as follows:
a) The Post Office in Bluff Towers in Durban was closed because the landlord wanted a 6 months advanced rental and utility services payments before entering into an agreement. SAPO could not make the payments due to PFMA rules.
b) The intention is to reopen the outlet as soon as a suitable site can be found in the vicinity of the old Bluff Post Office.
c) (i)(ii) All mail items and parcels are delivered from the Jacobs Post Office which is approximately 3km away from the old site (Bluff Towers).
