Question NW1211 to the Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies
19 May 2023 - NW1211
Khakhau, Ms KL to ask the Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies
a) What are the reasons that the Lansdowne Post Office in Cape Town has been closed; and b) What arrangements have been made to ensure residents receive their (i) municipal bills and (ii) other postal items?
Reply:
(a) The Lansdowne Post Office is fully operational and has not been closed. During loadshedding, the Post Office is closed as it does not have a standby generator. It is also unable to operate manually owing to its location with limited lighting being available during the hours of loadshedding.
b) No alternative arrangements are required for residents to receive their (i) municipal bills and (ii) other postal items - as neither the Lansdowne Post Office nor the Mail Delivery Depot have been closed.
Thank You.
