DEAR Editor,-
I am a pensioner and according to the local Ray Nkonyeni Municipality rules, am entitled to a rebate upon qualification of certain criteria.
Accompanying the monthly statement is a supplementary information sheet with various do’s, dont’s and other information, including the following: ‘PENSIONERS are reminded that their rebate is valid for two financial years.

Applications forms will be available in June 2017 with listed qualifying criteria and need to be returned before June 30 June 2017’.
I was at the Ray Nkonyeni Offices in Port Shepstone at 12.30 on June 5 to obtain the application form in order that I may complete and apply for a rebate.
The woman at counter nine informed me that the 2017 forms have not yet been printed and therefore are not available to the public.
She estimated that they may be completed and available at the end of June and that I should come again at the end of the month.
Now I ask: How on earth can they inform the public to collect the forms at their offices when they have not yet been printed?
And if you receive the application form on Friday, June 30, and submit on Monday, July 3 – will it then be deemed to be too late?
I could not get any further satisfactory answers to my questions. Has anybody else had this experience and is there another route that one can pursue?
