South African Post Office (SAPO)

The mission of the South African Post Office SOC Ltd (SAPO) is to leverage its established infrastructure to link government, business and consumers with each other locally and abroad.

As a state-owned enterprise, SAPO is the mandated service provider of the services outlined in the Postal Act 44 of 1958 and Postal Services Act 124 of 1998. In addition to these services, SAPO also offers courier and freight services, financial services, electronic bill payment, and a variety of government services such as Extended Public Works Programme (EPWP) payment and motor vehicle licence renewals.

SAPO is committed to government developmental state objectives and focuses on improving the access to basic services in previously underserviced communities. Its network is currently the largest point of presence nationally and is able to connect government, businesses and citizens anywhere in South Africa.

Leveraging off its sizeable retail and distribution network, SAPO promotes economic growth though the provision of financial, postal, logistics and retail products and services that are competitively priced, nationally accessible and in compliance with regulated service commitments and standards.
