permit application still outstanding after 8months

I have been waiting for the outcome for my General work permit since December 2014, and want to know whether i will ever get a response or never. <br> My life has completely come to a standstill even after submitting all the required documents to DHA via vfs.<br> <br> I wonder why the government still have to sing about we all Africans if they can not provide us with our permit outcomes timely and still expect commoners to treat us fairly if they cant do that themselves. <br> <br> This is actually Human rights abuse because my bank accounts has been frozen i cant apply for anything i cant renew my lease contract now i just have to leave in the streets despite having all the required documents to get a general work permit.
