The Department of Posts (DoP) has signed an Agreement with South Africa Post for starting international EMS (Speed Post) service with that country. This agreement signed recently is expected to augment people-to-people contact between the two countries, and foster trade, as EMS is a popular export channel for small and medium enterprises. The EMS service to South Africa will be available at the major post offices from September 2012 onwards.
EMS or Express Mail Service is a premium service that enables its users to send letters, documents and parcels faster with the added facility of being able to track the movement of the item on the internet.
