New driving licence cards for South Africa

South African motorists may be able to apply for a digital driving licence before an updated physical driving licence card, which has been delayed by more than two years.

South Africa's laminated plastic driving licence card has been in use since 1998. It replaced a driving licence page that was printed in people's green identity books.

I don't know, the optimist in me believes this will be a reality in the next 4 years.

The pessimist in me believes I will still have to go stand in line for 3 hours at the drivers license center in order to renew my digital drivers license every 5 years for no real valid reason other than "it is just the way it is done".

Then after 3 hours I get to the front of the queue, only to be told that "the system is down" so they can't "process" my digital drivers license, even though I had already done everything on the app and they just need to ... click a button?

Will this one also wear out every 5 years?

They probably have the solutions already in hand...the problem you see is how can they implement it while skimming a couple hundred million to a few billion for themselves under the radar,family members and friends don't always answer their phones and they put the wrong names on the new or off the shelf shell companies they need to setup for the...er setup.

Give them a break it's a difficult to do now compared to when Zuma was in charge.
