The South African Post Office was announced as the National Business of the
Year for 2008 at the National Business Awards in Johannesburg earlier this
week.
This I assure you is not a joke.
According to the panel of judges, the post office has taken giant steps
towards achieving its vision: to be recognised amongst the leading providers
of postal and related services in the world. Comments group CEO Motshoanetsi
Lefoka, "All employees have been working tirelessly to position the company
in the commercial business environment. Through our initiatives that embrace
innovation and technology, we intend to continue to improve on our sterling
performance. I would like to thank our shareholder, employees, partners and
most importantly our customers! Without their commitment, dedication and
support, this would not have been possible."
And that dear readers of this great blog is the reason why Arsezania is
arsezania!
No other postal service or for that matter any business in the world would
have the cheek top accept an award like this in the same week as Amazon said
enough is enough.
Just another example of where sa is heading.

Amazon UK keeps faith with Post Office
Lesley Stones
Information Technology Editor
ONLINE shoppers worried that Amazon's ban on delivering items to SA
will dry up their supply of books and DVDs can switch to ordering from
the UK instead.
The fearless British Amazons are willing to go where the Americans
dare not tread and will still post items to SA.
"We can confirm that Amazon.co.uk will continue to dispatch books,
music CDs, DVDs and videos to SA," the company said.
Amazon.com caused a furore last week when it imposed a ban on posting
items to SA because of postal theft. Shoppers still wanting to order
from its website must now pay for a private courier service, adding
more than R400 to the cost of a delivery.
"The news regarding Amazon delivery restrictions to SA is applicable
for the orders placed with our partner site, Amazon.com, the UK site
said. The UK website will continue to offer airmail deliveries to SA,
with prices starting at £2,09 per order plus £1,49 per item.
Amazon also runs independent websites in Germany, France, Japan and
China, which each have different delivery restrictions on items sent
to different destinations.
HIGHLIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazon.com is not the only online trader to boycott SA's postal
service because of theft.
Bespoke tailor Charles Tyrwhitt of Jermyn Street in London also
refuses to deliver to SA unless clients pay for a courier service.
Customer David Frank lost three shirts when his order disappeared
after he persuaded the company to put his parcel in the post, despite
its reluctance to do so.
"A friend referred me to the site and he uses a courier at an absurd
price. I thought it really wasn't necessary, but it obviously was,"
Frank said. "They told me they don't send parcels to SA because
they've had numerous problems with theft, but I convinced them to send
it. They used international signed-for mail, but it didn't help."
When Frank realised the parcel worth R2000 was missing, the tailor's
customer services representative Diana Osepyan e-mailed him to say:
"As I advised previously, our company has experienced problems with
delivering to SA. Therefore, we always advise customers from this
country to use courier services. In cases when orders are lost in
post, we usually send a replacement. However, with SA we are not sure
if the replacement will reach you either."
Local websites quickly offered to fill the gap left by Amazon.com's
withdrawal.
