EXPLOSIVE CABINET WAR ERUPTS as a staggering betrayal of the public trust is laid bare. In a SHOCKING admission to Parliament, Deputy Minister Mondli Gungubele was FORCED to publicly DISAVOW his own Communications Minister, Solly Malatsi, revealing a DEEPLY SPLIT government actively SABOTAGING a crippled South African Post Office.
The bombshell? Malatsi SECRETLY gutted Sapo’s last lifeline—its exclusive right to deliver small parcels—in a COVERT midnight gazette just days before Parliament recessed. Gungubele STUNNED MPs by confessing, “I did not have line of sight to the decision.” This was a DELIBERATE, RECKLESS act executed BEHIND THE BACKS of the very officials tasked with saving the entity.
This isn’t policy disagreement; it’s a CALCULATED EXECUTION. Business rescuers CONFIRM the move DESTROYS Sapo’s turnaround plan, pushing it toward the LIQUIDATION cliff. Meanwhile, R3.8-billion in promised bailout funds has VANISHED. Malatsi’s cold defense? A mere seven public submissions justified this economic death sentence.
MPs are FURIOUS, slamming the timing as a “reckless” ploy to AVOID SCRUTINY while condemning millions of poor and remote citizens who DEPEND on the postal service. The Post Office’s own legal head admits the decision has a “NEGATIVE IMPACT” that will leave it bearing costs WITHOUT revenue.
This is MORE than incompetence; it is a DELIBERATE act of political vandalism that questions whether this government is quietly engineering the collapse of a vital public service. The truth is out: they are not trying to save Sapo—they are ensuring it dies. The only question left is, WHO PROFITS from its corpse?
