1 Page 1 of 8 OFFICE OF THE SURVEYOR-GENERAL Pietermaritzburg REPORT - 13 June 2003 As at Friday 13 June 2003 the workflow in the SGO looked like this: DIAGRAMS GENERAL PLANS SECTIONAL PLANS SURVEY RECORDS Total Lodged Packs Dgms Plans Erven Packs Sects EUAs Cad Sect Approved Rejected Waiting period (Working Days) The professional staff was examining SG No D 198/2003 and SR No 442/2003. A spate of work was lodged recently without the necessary examination fees or inadequate consents. We have been a very accommodating office in the past and I know the other Surveyor-General Offices would not have tolerated these careless omissions. I feel that this tolerant attitude is being abused. These surveys were sent back without an S G Number. As promised earlier, this is a list of each person's direct line. Please prefix the number with For example Malusi Phakahi has a direct number of Surveyor-General's Office Telephone number : Names Room number Direct extension (355-) Abey Mohohlo Malusi Phakathi Abraham Parbunath Michelle Kok Andre Barnard Mzo (Norman) Gumede Andries/Dan Thebe Mbuyi/Precious Tsika Bérnice Tyrrell
