Amazon blacklists the South African Post Office ...

Last week's news was that Amazon.com had blacklisted the South African Post office and will now only courier goods to South Africa. According to reports, rampant theft by Post Office workers has infuriated the internet retailing giant so much that it will no longer send goods to South Africa by post.

Today while driving home from Springbok to Cape Town I heard on the radio that the Post Office has just won the National Business of the Year 2008.

These two reports read together clearly indicate the standard of other national businesses in South Africa. I wonder if Eskom entered the National Business of the Year 2008 competition. If so it must have been a most difficult decision for the judges.
