26 March | COVID-19 REGULATIONS;…
Goeiemôre WRSA-lede, [Please see English below]
Terwyl ons hier by die kantoor voorberei vir die sluitingsperiode, wil ons u graag ingelig hou met die nuutste inligting.
Soos ons almal weet, ontvou baie dinge daagliks, of byna uurliks. Waar ons nie noodwendig al die inligting nou beskikbaar het nie, moedig ons u aan om ons webtuiste dop te hou, waar ons gereeld opdaterings sal doen. www.wrsa.co.za/covid-19/
Intussen, hiermee solank baie belangrike inligting, wat ons hoop vir u tot hulp en waardevol sal wees:
Aanhangsel: Categorisation of Essential Goods and Services during Covid-19 Lockdown (latest notice), soos deur Minister Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma aangebied is op 25 Maart 2020.
Let veral op na:
– Bylae A: ‘n Vorm wat vir mediese ondersoeke voltooi moet word;
– Bylae B: Kategorisering van noodsaaklike goedere en dienste;
– Bylae C: Toestemming om noodsaaklike dienste te verrig;
(Let wel: Ons het gister ‘n konsep aan lede gestuur wat gewysig is om in lyn te bring
met die Bylae C van die Regulasies. Vind die bygewerkte permit hierby aangeheg
– Bylae D: Lokale en plekke wat vir die publiek gesluit is.
PROVINSIALE NATUURBEWARING PERMITDIENSTE:
Van ons lede het gister hul kommer uitgespreek oor provinsiale natuurbewaringskantore wat klaarblyklik gesluit sal wees gedurende die periode tot 16 April, en ook hoe dit die uitreiking van permitte sal beinvloed. WRSA het dus met alle provinsies opgevolg en kan solank as volg terugrapporteer:
Reelings is getref dat permitte nog uitgereik sal word. Volledige besonderhede sal aan u deurgevoer word en sal ook op ons webtuiste gepubliseer word.
Die elektroniese permitstelsel bly operasioneel.
Enige aansoeke en/of navrae kan aan mnr Leon Lotter gestuur word: Leon.Lotter@gauteng.gov.za
Modelinge terugvoering was dat, alhoewel amptenare aandag aan e-posse sal gee, daar op hierdie stadium geen reelins is vir permitte om uitgereik te word nie. Ons wag egter nog vir die formele terugvoering.
Die departementshoof, mnr Kgopong, het bevestig dat hul bestuurskomitee vanoggend vergader om moontlike reelings te bespreek. Ons sal u ook hieroor ingelig hou.
Die NEPAS elektroniese permitstelsel bly operasioneel.
Alhoewel hul kantore gesluit sal wees, sal permitte nog steeds oorweeg en uitgereik word.
Enige aansoeke en/of korrespondensie kan per e-pos gestuur word aan mnr David Paulse: paulsedavid@gmail.com
Met die provinsie se elektroniese stelsel in plek, sal die permitstelsel nie onderbreek word gedurende die afsluitingsperiode nie.
Weens reisbeperkings sal daar egter geen besoeke gehou word vir aansoeke om sertifikate van voldoende omheining nie.
Probleemdier aangeleenthede sal indivdueel hanteer word.
Alhoewel die Cape Nature-kantore gesluit sal wees, is alles in plek om amptenare se rekenaars aan die kantoor te Koppel om sodoende te verseker dat aansoeke om permitte en die uitreiking daarvan kan voortgaan.
Vanweë die reisverbod, sal geen inspeksies vir nuwe fasiliteite gedoen kan word nie.
‘n Periode van drie maande sal gegun word vir die hernuwing van permitte wat gedurende die sluitperiode tot 16 April, sou verval.
SLUITING VAN WRSA KANTOOR:
Die WRSA-kantoor sluit vanmiddag om 15:00 en sal weer open op 17 April, tensy die sluitingsperiode verleng word.
Ons personeel is egter volledig toegerus om tuis te werk, met toegang tot hul e-posse:

Good morning WRSA members,
With our office preparing for the lockdown period, herewith our update for today.
As we’ve seen over the past few days, things unfold daily, or almost hourly. Whilst we do not necessarily have all the information available right now, we encourage you to keep an eye on our website, where we will be updating regularly. www.wrsa.co.za/covid-19/

(Please note: We forwarded a draft to members yesterday, which has been amended to align

PROVINCIAL NATURE CONSERVATION: PERMIT OFFICES
After concern raised by members yesterday about provincial nature conservation offices being closed during the lock-down period and how it would affect the issuing of permits, we immediately followed up with all provinces. Please take note of the following:
Everything is in place for permits to still be issued during the lock-down period. Full information will be available on our website as soon as it is available.
The electronic permit system remains operational.
Any applications and/or enquiries can be forwarded to Mr Leon Lotter: Leon.Lotter@gauteng.gov.za
Although officials will attend to emails, verbal feedback at this stage is that no permits will be issued during the lock-down period. We still await written feedback.
The HOD, Mr Kgopong, confirmed that the Steering Committee will meet this morning to discuss the way forward. We will keep members informed as soon as we have received their formal feedback.
The NEPAS electronic permit system remains operational.
Although the offices will be closed, permits will still be issued by officials working from home.
Any applications and/or correspondence can be emailed to Mr David Paulse: paulsedavid@gmail.com
Because of the province’s electronic system, the permit system will not be interrupted during the lock-down period.
Due to travel restrictions, no visits will, however, take place for applications for Certificates of Adequate Enclosure.
DCA matters will be handled individually.
Although the Cape Nature offices will be closed, all officials’ computers will be linked to the office, to ensure that applications for permits and the issuing thereof, will proceed.
However, because of the lock-down and minimisation on traveling, no inspections will take place for new facilities.
A three month period will be given for the renewal of any permits expiring during the lock-down period.
WRSA OFFICE CLOSURE:
The WRSA office will close this afternoon at 3pm and re-open on 17 April, unless the lock-down period is being extended.
However, our staff will be fully equipped to work from home and will have access to their emails:
CEO: Mrs Adri Kitshoff-Botha: ceo@wra.co.za
Finances: Ms Elmarie Williamson: accounts@wrsa.co.za
General Administration: Mrs Marietjie Wentzel: pa@wrsa.co.za
Membership, Marketing & game meat: Mrs Ankie Stroebel: members@wrsa.co.za;
Transformation, Research and Wild Pig Permits: Ms Nonkie Kunene: info@wrsa.co.za
Mrs Deseré Hamer, has resigned as our financial administrator and her last day (from home) in WRSA’s service, will be 31 March. We thank Deseré for her commitment to WRSA over the past few years and we wish her well in her new career.
