TO MEMBER ASSOCIATIONS

Below is an e-mail received from SAGA of which the contents is self explanatory.  It was decided that this e-mail be circulated to member associations for distributions to their members.  Kindly note that it is not expected from associations to forward their members’ details to SAGA, but that it is up to the individuals to do it themselves.

Kind regards

MANAGER, CHASA

PRESIDENTIAL ASSISTANCE

President Zuma’s Help Hot Line number is 17737.  Keep a note of that number and use it when your efforts to get answers from a government department or organ of state have been frustrated by ignorance/incompetence or a brick wall.  There are no guarantees, but when all else fails, it is worth a shot.
