Many Germiston residents are still not receiving their post.<\/p>\n

A Primrose resident contacted the GCN regarding the fact that she still had not received any post even though the strike was long over.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The GCN contacted Johan Kruger from the SA Post Office, who said, \u201cMail delivery in Germiston is currently affected by a shortage of manpower for sorting and street delivery.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Post Office is in the process of addressing the problem by redeployment of delivery staff.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe Germiston sorting depot is working, but in some instances, mail that was delayed in the strike is still received from larger sorting centres.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a result, residents will receive mail that is late because it was delayed higher up in the sorting hierarchy.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough the backlog on domestic mail has been largely worked off, residents should also be aware that, unfortunately, a large backlog remains at the Johannesburg International Mail Centre.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has delayed international air mail.<\/p>\n

\u201cInternational surface mail is not affected and is running normally.\u201d<\/p>\n
