Authorization

I recently app**** for my child's study permit, but it was rejected because Discovery would not confirm his membership to the DHA. As a result, I now have to incur additional costs for an appeal, take time to submit it, and reschedule another collection date—all due to Discovery's inability to assist with verifying the membership of a paying subscriber.

This situation is both frustrating and disappointing. Why does Discovery not have an authorization system in place that allows verified institutions to authenticate membership efficiently? Implementing such a system would prevent unnecessary delays and financial burdens on members who rely on Discovery for essential services.

So here iam back here facing the same issue this is totally unacceptable, why can such a big organizatioon not understand oissues to do with the POPI ACT? if an authentic government organisation requests to know if my information is genuine, you tell them you cannot talk to them and leave your clients to handle the issues regarding their memberships and costing them time and money!
