    Ja I am also very wary . Why would there be a "deadline" - surely if we were due some payment you are due it ! And it would be publicised.

    i also decided to go down and find out more...to find a que...4 hours long...sorry mate i dont do ques so i went to the front of the que and started asking questions...nobody is quite sure what is actually go on...even at the gate where i went to ask questions.

    so i decided to go to another military base...were there was no que...and as i suspected...not even personel at the sandf know what is actually going on...they informed me that is it has nothing to do with the sandf hence the reason for only one base doing it...all they are doing is verifying that you are registered on the database ...the R10000 rumours which is going around was just to get everyone to go down and register...boy is it working...by the ques i saw this morning.

    apparently it might pay off in about 25 years time once they have finalised the court case which is in progress...it apparently has to do with MK veterans getting paid out...it is unconstitutional that they get paid out and we dont...so like the firearms kak that got everyone to hand in their firearms which also worked because 90 % of the people i know handed in their firearms...it a pending court case which could go on for many years to come.

    another thing to consider surely if this was for real they would have made a public notice and indicated were to register etc.

    facts

    the document on the internet is a fraudulant document and and cannot be used
    you cannot fill in any document and send it via email fax etc
    there is no fee you have to pay for giving away this information
    this has nothing to do with the sandf...it is a veterans association pension scheme and have to report to a location where the association is carrying out the registration in person
    it is merly to verify that you are registered on the system...much like fica
    there is no payout...it is purely to verify that you are registered on their database
    the deadline has been moved to 16 july 2012 for you to register if you want to.

    the way i see it...it just another rumour floating around and it could be a means of mobilising the troops if they are required for active duty in the near future


    99 % of the people i asked while walking to the front of the que indicated that they had heard "today" was the cuttoff and if they didnt register by today would loose out on the payout and only heard about it this morning.

    If you are going to register why not just do it on line in the link provided by murdock? I went to Military Base 84 at 184 Old Fort Road in Durban today and there where hundreds of people queuing to register? If it was a scam the military base would not be registering the people?

    Because I think we are a bit scared of giving out personal details.

    you cannot register online...you have to do it in person.
    the document in the link is not valid.
    how long did you wait in the que?
    did anyone there actually know what was going on and why you were registering...in other words did they give you some form of documentation or proof that you registered and why you were registering?

    It smacks of just being a political pawn to "assist" battling ex-struggle vets and pacify their discontent with being ignored for their personal sacrifices.
    There is vey little chance that previously advantaged population groups will benefit in any way me thinks. I aint going to waste any precious time waiting in line to register for this.

    Maybe they are measuring the opposition, so that they know what they are up against when the sh!t starts hitting the fan.

    Apparantly this was on the radio yesterday and is above board, but they do a means test - so it is for those vets that dont have jobs etc and were injured etc
