SA Post Office CEO Mark Barnes has resigned citing differences on forward strategy in relation to the structure of the group, in particular the location of Postbank.<\/p>\n
“Following discussions on Barnes\u2019 resignation with the Board, the parties are in agreement on an amicable separation,” the Post Office said in a press statement.<\/p>\n
The board thanked Barnes for his “enormous service to the SA Post Office and the country during his tenure”.<\/p>\n
“In his time at the SA Post Office, Barnes has led the stabilisation of the organisation as well as pioneered its positioning as a relevant access point of government services for our communities,” it said.<\/p>\n
The Post Office assured customers and the SA public that the departure of the outgoing CEO will not negatively impact the organisation\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n
Lindiwe Kwele, the SA Post Office\u2019s current COO, has been appointed as the interim CEO until the recruitment of a new CEO takes place.<\/p>\n
“To ensure continuity, Barnes will remain within the SA Post Office fold for a period to aid the transition of the interim Group CEO,” the SA Post Office said.<\/p>\n
