Update to the SAPO strike (Important Warning)

After the update posted by @tetrasect, I was under the impression that they are back at work and working through the backlog. From the latest posts on this thread it really doesn't seem like it though.
 
I have a feeling this is going to go well past the festive season resulting in the fall of the SAPO altogether.

Most PO's are at full capacity , ALL mail goes through Witspos (where intimidation and violence continues) From their FB page :

"Witspos sorting centre worked over the weekend of 8 and 9 November and on Saturday, 9 truckloads of mail left the mail centre for delivery.

Tshwane Mail is today manned at 60% of full capacity. The mail centre will work over weekends and later introduce a night shift when enough employees become available.

Sporadic incidents of intimidation at sorting centres continue to occur, but have been reduced following support from the SA Police Services"

With regards to the LN/LJ parcels , they have the lowest priority of all international waybills , some don't even get scanned just sent straight to your local PO , so I would call them up and confirm if the package maybe arrived it's a long shot I know but after I called my PO every day for two weeks they eventually said "Don't call us we will call you" , and lo and behold two weeks ago THEY DID , two of my four parcels arrived.

I also do not see SAPO recovering from this , with strikes , irregular spending , incompetent management .... downhill FAST ...
 
The long awaited order from the UK finally arrived @Lee so I will pack the balance of your order when I get back this weekend!!!

Thanks for the update @Daniel! I'm sure this will help a lot of the people here as they can now check with their local PO. Did not know that LN/LJ packages have the lowest priority. Unfortunately my local PO in Robertsham is still closed after being vandalized.
 
If anyone wants a direct contact for Jhb Customs just pop me a PM :) and NO I am in no way affiliated with SAPO nor do I work for them :p so I can't hurry up your package :)

No problem Rob!
Must say..... you're much prettier than I thought!
 
I am really feeling sorry for you guys. This strike i pathetic. How can they strike for so long??? I guess tjat they are not paid..... how long would it take to get the loss of earnings back with the increases?

This is exactly what I can't understand from strikers - didn't they have some basic maths education, they will never recoup the salary lost while on strike, even with a substantial increase.
 
@Imthiaz Khan I sent customerservice@sapo an email in October alredy to give me the local tracking number. They replied yesterday.
