Membership

q. Who is entitled to become a member?
a. All citizens and permanent residents of the RSA are eligible for membership.

q. What are the costs of membership?
a. Whilst membership of the Authority is currently free of charge, the Authority reserves the right to charge a nominal membership fee to cover the administrative costs of membership. Members will be given sufficient notice of any intention to change membership fees.

q. What is the period of membership?
a. Your membership will continue indefinately. However, in order to maintain an active membership body at all times (important for establishing a quorum) the Authority may discontinue the membership of a particular member in the following circumstances only: In the event that the member fails on two seperate occassions to respond to a request by the Authority to confirm his/she's continued membership which request is conveyed to the member by the Authority addressing the request to all the contact numbers/addresses provided by the member. The fact that membership is terminated by the Authority in this manner does not in anyway prevent that person from reapplying for membership at anytime thereafter.
