Re: Role of DFO?
correct, biggest problem that seems to be reported is no common standard,
which would be understandable considering the work they do and the little leadership saps has
my DFO is genuinely very efficient, although at times things like carrying sect 16 etc etc can be a heated debated

Re: Role of DFO?
The time delay also depends on where you are - from your local SAPS, it goes to Provincial (it might take them a few weeks before they physically take your application), and, from Provincial it goes to Pretoria (which, again, might take them a few weeks before they physically take your application)

Re: Role of DFO?
^ This is true though
In an era of where the speed of technology is at the click of a button, i honestly don't know why this process is not electronic by now. I just dont get what is so satisfying by filling in forms, taking finger prints and waiting for all the applications to pile up so that they can drive to Jhb.
This process should take an applicant 5 mins MAX if it was electronic... but the authoritative powers prefer to keep an inefficient process alive.

Re: Role of DFO?
Thanks for the response gents - I suppose hands are tied and it's a lesson of patience.
I'll start asking more questions if CFR doesn't have a different status on the matter next week.
Wouldn't it be great if these could go straight to provincial? That would have saved me 4 weeks of waiting so far...

In therory yes maybe, but go treat him like a postbox and You will increase you fitness significantly with circle that he will make you run.He is the link , and probably the most important link. The “postbox” I would say is province. I think we somewhat discount the role of the DFO. Make friends with him, and I’m sure he will assist where he can. Lots of them are also over worked.

Re: Role of DFO?
Understood, however, its not about making friends to get a desired response and its not like clients are getting the "service" of lodging applications for free either...
They are over worked due to process inefficiencies that cannot accommodate the inflow of applications.

Re: Role of DFO?
On this. Banks take your finger print when cashing a Cheq. Capitec you can in branch do anything with your finger print. Ive seen some recruitment companies also taking finger print to verify your record when they job hunt for you.
Yet the SAPS uses paper fingerprint. They are actually suppose to be the people on the forefront of fingerprint scanning.

Re: Role of DFO?
Unfortunately, we are stuck with the system and have to be patient, it's not unusual to wait even a year or longer (especially, if there's some screw-up somewhere)
