The Post & Customer Services Centre has been advised that, due to the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown in Cape Town, all mail destined for distribution in South Africa will no longer be accepted by the South African Post Office. Therefore, the mail service to Cape Town, which is normally facilitated via the MV Helena, will cease to operate until further notice. This will not affect the airmail service via Johannesburg to Great Britain, which will continue to be implemented when and if it is practical to do so.
