POLICE Minister Senzo Mchunu has disclosed that the South African Police Service (SAPS) is currently facing a backlog of about 200 applications from officers awaiting the processing of their medical boarding applications.
Almost half of the total number of the total applications was approved about five months ago.
Mchunu revealed this when he was responding in writing to parliamentary questions from DA MP Lisa Schickerling, who enquired abut delays in the processing of medical boarding applications.
“There are currently approximately 200 applications which are pending adjudication,” he said.
Mchunu disclosed that the most recent medical boarding process conducted by the SAPS was conducted on January 15, 2025.
