The
South African Post Office is one of the biggest headaches for the South African
government, following a R1.5bn loss in the 2015 financial year, and a
provisional loss of R1bn in the current year.
Despite
the challenges, new Post Office CEO Mark Barnes remains upbeat about the future
of the state-owned enterprise.
Barnes
sees e-commerce as a new revenue stream for the Post Office, and has
initiatives underway to capture a bigger slice of the online shopping logistics
pie.
It will not be easy, though. The Post Office still generates most of its revenue from standard postal services – with only 9% of revenue coming from courier services.
Many
other courier companies have established relationships with e-commerce players,
and the Post Office will need to address its poor reputation and reliability
before online shops see it as a viable option.
