Hi would like to share this with you all in regards with firearm applications. The email circulated to all SAPS officials. It states that SAPS has 90 working days to finalize all firearm applications.
The letter circulated 29.05.2012 hereunder.
The 90 days period is unpacked as follows:
Station Level
The applications received by various stations must be forwarded to the Provincial Office within six (6) weeks after being captured on the system.
Provincial Level
After receiving of applications from stations the Province must conduct a quality check and the applications must be forwarded to Central Firearm Register within two (2) weeks after receipt from the station with a forwarding schedule.
Central Firearm Register
Applications received at Central Firearms Register must be finalized within four (4) weeks after receipt from the Province.
Approved applications - Card Printed
Refused applications - Refusal Letter (Typed)
All printed cards must be collected from the Central Firearms Register within two (2) weeks after being finalized by Central Firearms Register and the cards must be collected or delivered within two (2) weeks after being finalized by Central Firearms Register or Provincial Office.
All refusal letters must be posted within two (2) weeks after being finalized by Central Firearms Register.

Lately they do move on much quicker than before like my last 5 applications were approved within 2 1/2 months, not bad!! But I still have 2 applications that were received CFR 30 Aug 2011 and are lying on consideration for the last 3 months now.

The mere fact that there is now an appararently published and officical performance standard is progress.

the glory of the great dead.

We can but hope, but looking at the improvements made in the past 12 - 18 months, I'd say the turnaround times would be near these times.
And no, I am not an optimist at heart. To me, the question is not whether the cup is half full or half empty. The question is whether it contains arsenic, or cyanide.Sent electronically, thus not signed.
