The business rescue plan for the South African Post Office, published by the joint business rescue practitioners (BRPs) Anoosh Rooplal and Juanito Damons, is aimed at stabilising the company, restoring it to solvency and enabling it to operate sustainably as a going concern without total reliance on government funding in the future. The Post Office's financial sustainability is a critical concern that demands attention. Its costs have consistently exceeded its revenue by 200% since its 2022 financial year. Employee costs accounted for 150% of this, and the organisation has inadequate investment into information technology systems, fleet management, mail processing centres, depots and its branch network.
