CARTOON: RIP SA Post Office

CEO Nomkhita Mona again tells MPs of private players keen to see Sapo collapse or be liquidated

Government wants all state institutions to use and pay for Sapo services and infrastructure wherever possible

SA’s long-awaited radio frequency spectrum auction, with multiple bidding rounds, has netted the state more than R8bn so far

Sapo received R2.9bn from the Treasury in 2019 to settle loans and pay critical suppliers, and cumulative allocations amount to R8.6bn since 1991

Opposition parties don’t like the idea, seeing it as a drain on national finances when Sapo’s own board should be leading plans to make it sustainable
