Listings come from the open Overture Maps Places dataset and are shown as recorded there. NearMe is an independent directory, not the provider. Details change, so please confirm by phone before you travel. We do not publish opening hours because our source does not carry verified hours.
The list shows the most complete records first: entries with a phone number and a street address come before those without, so you have something you can act on straight away.

Chains and independents
Of the 944 post offices we hold, 241 (26%) carry a chain or brand name in our source. The most common are An Post (234), DHL (3), Drakenstein Municipality (1), Astron Energy Komani (1) and My SPAR (1). The other 74% are independent businesses or entries without a brand tag. Brand tags come from the open dataset and are not always complete, so a branch of a chain can appear without one.
What to check before you go
In South Africa, copies of documents can be certified free of charge at SAPS police stations, and by a commissioner of oaths.
- Phone ahead to confirm the business is still trading at the listed address. Our data comes from an open mapping dataset and can be out of date.

Contact details and directions
Of the 944 entries, 63% list a phone number, 80% a website and 69% a street address. Entries with map coordinates have a Directions link that opens Google Maps. Listings come from the open Overture Maps Places dataset. NearMe is an independent directory, not the provider, so please confirm details directly with the business.
