In excess of 110 working days for comptencey approval and 94 working days for licence approval. When I called and spoke to CFR, I mentioned that they had, by law, 90 working days to approve or reject the application. I wad told, "in theory yes, but reality it can take however long they needed". So much for following the law...

So ive got this list. SARS, SAPS(Incl CFR) and Customs. These people I dont pick a fight with over the phone. As they might be wrong. But as human nature goes will return the favour by moving your stuff down the line or nail you harder with duties. So I stay friendly with them.

From approval it can easily take up to 6 weeks for a card to be printed. And its now holidays. So most government employees on leave. So there will be more delays.

Called the provincial office and was told my card was printed on 17 Dec and its still not at my local DFO's office. SAPS is really teaching me a great lesson on patience
