As a result of consultations with numerous prospective applicants for the FRAP 2015/16 process, the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Mr Senzeni Zokwana, has agreed to extend the closing date for receipting by two weeks until 26 February 2016, at 16h00.

Receipting was scheduled to close on 12 February 2016, but in order to allow applicants more time to complete their application forms, the Department will now re-open selective receipting centres from Monday 22 February at 08h00 until Friday 26 February 2016 at 16h00.  It should be noted that no receipting will take place during the week of 15-19 February 2016. The current receipting process now open in 33 venues will continue until Friday 12 February at 16h00.

No additional applications forms will be distributed during this period. Those applicants who have already submitted their applications forms may submit supplementary information, should they wish to do so.  Supplementary information should be submitted in a file with a duplicate copy; it must be clearly marked with the applicants name and number, and a copy of the receipt as proof of initial submission.

Receipting centres will be open in the following towns (venues to be confirmed shortly):

•     Cape Town
•     Gansbaai
•     Hermanus
•     Lamberts Bay

•     Port Nolloth
