Comment:
* During 2008 the total rejections (unfounded and manifestly unfounded) were recorded as 62,065. However, they were not separated into the various categories.
** During 2010 successful applications and rejections were not recorded per office.
*** From 2013 to 2016 Port Elizabeth cases were processed under the Cape Town server.
