Getting a payout from SAPS is a struggle

I RESIGNED from the SAPS last June but have not received a cent from them up to now.

I RESIGNED from the SAPS last June but have not received a cent from them up to now.

They started working on my file last September, claiming that they were waiting for my leave certificate from my station.

What is strange is that they did not even bother to contact the personnel department where I was stationed to enquire.

Since January I have been calling the SAPS discharge department to no avail.

I have been given a few telephone numbers where I should enquire, but no one answers the phones.

It is not as if I did not work for this money, now I have to struggle to get it.

I don't understand why people should wait for more than three months to get their money.
