“We trust that this, in a few weeks, will be a thing of the past. I will work with my team and seek advice on the extension of validity for those who are affected by this because they face the cruelty of the law as we uphold it. It’s not their fault, it’s our system’s fault. As Minister of Transportation, I will consult with my… legal team and then next week I will speak on that as we address the challenge we face in this regard, ”Mbalula said.
Motorists whose driver’s licenses have expired during the national shutdown have been scrambling to renew them. The online reservation system has not been able to cope with the high demand for license renewal points. Gauteng’s MEC for road and public transport infrastructure Jacob Mamabolo announced yesterday that the province will dedicate 70% of reserve seats and capacity to driver’s license renewal to address current delays.
“We also made the decision that the available capacity at DLTCs, such as equipment, machinery and personnel, will be dedicated to addressing the delay in driver license renewals,” Mamabolo said.
He said a provincial management operations center will be established to monitor DLTC activities on a daily basis, as well as to ensure that decisions made at the meeting are implemented.
In December, the department will launch a forensic investigation into allegations of corruption, bribery and collusion taking place at the DLTCs.
