The Department of Posts (DoP) today said it has signed an international speed post agreement with South Africa Post and the service will be available at major post offices starting this month.
“DoP has signed an agreement with South Africa Post for starting international EMS (speed post) service...The EMS service to South Africa will be available at the major post offices from September 2012 onwards,” DoP said in a statement.
Express Mail Service (EMS) is a premium service that enables its users to send letters, documents and parcels faster with the added facility of tracking the movement of the item on the Internet.
The department said as EMS is a popular export channel for small and medium enterprises, the agreement is expected to augment people-to-people contact between the two countries and foster trade.
