SA: Faulty Driver Licence Printer caused Woes

 
South Africa’s only driving licence printing machine is in Germany for repairs, the transport minister has revealed.

This is after reports of a backlog of more than 300,000 driving licences came up, prompting the explanation.

The minister says “the country has only one printer so as to avoid issuance of licences illegally.

”
South Africans online have been complaining about the delay in licence renewal.

They have been calling for a ‘permanent solution’ to the matter even as the transport ministry ‘plans to introduce digital licences this year.
