POSTAL services at the Tses post office were paralysed for a third day yesterday because of an electricity shutdown by the local council.
The post office is situated in the Agriculture Ministry’s building, whose power was cut because of an outstanding debt of N$7 000.A customer, who visited the post office only to find out that she could not draw money from her savings account, angrily said: ‘I need money to travel back to Windhoek. I really don’t know what to do now.’Residents now have to travel 80 kilometres to the nearest post office at Keetmanshoop. By yesterday afternoon the council still had not restored the electricity and water supply to the Agriculture Ministry building, The Namibian was informed.
