Questions
How many post office branches are open?
The South African Post Office's branch list of April 2026 shows 544 branches as active and 112 as closed, temporarily closed or not trading.
What does "Inactive - Trading Manually" mean?
It is one of the statuses in SAPO's branch list, kept apart from the active branches. SAPO does not say which services such a branch offers, so phone it before you go.
My post office is closed. Where do I go?
For most closed branches SAPO names the nearest alternative branch and its phone number; it is shown in the table next to the closed branch.
Do I still need my postal code if my post office closed?
Yes. Your street code belongs to your address, not to the branch, and couriers and online shops use it to route deliveries. Your PO Box code stays the same unless SAPO moves your box.
Postal codes come from the South African Post Office's domestic postal code list, and post office branch status from SAPO's branch list (updated 2026-04-24). Provinces and distances are worked out from GeoNames place data. Spotted a wrong code? Tell us.
