And then start over. Establish a new service, fully owned and operated by government, that's not for profit, but also doesn't interfere with private, for-profit companies in any way. Make it efficient and dirt cheap, and drastically limit its scope so that, as you say, you can't use it to deliver the airfryer you bought on Takealot, because that would detract its purpose of delivering mail.
Let it deliver mail (and international packages too, as nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqkz9hxvru8k8t4z2236z5grkscapche8n4rkd5t28fdjz56zgc54q4v7y27 (nprofile…7y27) mentioned, because that is the international expectation), but let it do it as efficiently, reliably, and safely as possible, so that nobody can ever again say, "So-and-so sent me something through the post six months ago, and it never arrived."
We shouldn't need private courier companies to deliver mail. We only do it (and pay through the nose for it) because currently, it's the only way we can guarantee it will get to where it's supposed to go. nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqhx5dtmluzqtwfcxw279d7fu4z2xv95jvt0q0ze8hf2vcrnf5j0wq0qrl67 (nprofile…rl67)
