Fikile Mbalula has left South Africa's driving licence system in chaos - Outa

I don't see how 10 year renewal will fix anything. It just delays the problem for 5 years then we will be sitting in the same long queues for days as before. We just have to do it less times in our lifetimes.

Agree. Personally I don't understand why you should have to renew your card at all. The old system where it was in your ID book for life worked just fine. But of course how will they make money if they can't force you to renew every X years.
 
Mr fix fok all.........
On to the next position to balls that up too, but have the biggest mouth.......oh wait, Mr new Secretary General of the ANC, you can balls up what's left, we don't mind.
 
Nothing unusual they all do the same because they all are the same -useless fvckers just collecting pay and stealing where they can.
 
A useful, pragmatic government would allow banks to handle the issue of these cards, along with aligned optometrists to conduct the eye tests.
Instead we have an outdated card machine and a total shambles of a 'ministry' who 'sorted' it out.
 
I've got to renew mine later this year. Is the card system still a mess? Wife did hers last year and she got it quick.

A useful, pragmatic government would put it in your ID book like it used to be and never let it expire.

Sure, confiscate the 90 year's license after he drives on the wrong side of the freeway.

Your licence never expires:

• Many South Africans are unaware that when your driver licence card expires, it does not mean your licence has expired too.
• There is currently no law which compels motorists to renew their licence cards.
• Whether your driver licence card expired fives years ago, or five days ago, you'll still pay the same price with no penalties.
