Question NW101 to the Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies
06 March 2024 - NW101
Mazzone, Ms NW to ask the Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies
Whether the National Treasury has approved the request for a R3,8 billion cash injection for the SA Post Office Business Rescue Plan, considering that the plan hinges on the approval of the cash injection; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details? NW106E
Reply:
The National Treasury has not allocated any funding in the 2024 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) preliminary allocations of January 2024. However, it has committed to further engage with the Department of Communications and Digital Technologies (DCDT) on the South African Post Office (SAPO) rescue plan as it forms the basis for the R3,8 billion funding requirement. These discussions have commenced and the outcome will be provided upon the conclusion of engagements with the National Treasury.
Thank you
