Posting mail to South Africa
Over the past 2 months I have on separate occasions posted a letter to South Africa using ordinary non tracked service. Both times it did not arrive to the intended recipient. I popped in at NZ Post today to inquire about more secure options. $20 for signature only (not tracked) and wait for it, $106 for tracked. I'm not trying to freight a parcel here. I wonder if anyone else finds the latter option quite ridiculous and also if anyone else has any suggestions.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
