Vision:
The South African Post Office Museum will be the leading Collection-based, postal education and historical research resource in Africa

Mission:
The South African Post Office Museum will preserve the legacy of the South African Post Office and provide education, research and enjoyment about the past, present and future

The Idea of establishing the Post Office Museum was first suggested as far back as 1913 at the First Philatelic Exhibition held in South Africa.

Over the years there has been a steady accumulation of items for the proposed museum, mainly from departmental sources and purchases and donations, but it was not until 1972 that the final decision to establish a Post Office Museum was taken and a curator, Mr Mervyn Emms, appointed.
