Sapo has been without a permanent CEO since Mark Barnes left a few years ago.<\/p>\n

Prasa has been mired in controversy with damning evidence led at the Zondo commission, where allegations of corruption have swirled in the past few months.<\/p>\n

This week, new allegations on its trains was also heard in the commission.<\/p>\n

A few months ago Cabinet appointed a new board at Prasa chaired by former ANC MP Leonard Ramatlakane.<\/p>\n

Sapo has in the past few years received bailouts from the government.<\/p>\n

The post office has also blamed the decline in mail volumes.<\/p>\n

It had been forced to close down some of its branches because of poor performance.<\/p>\n
