Big problems with driving licence renewals in South Africa

[markings]

Since when does one have to book for license RENEWAL? New license yes because that involves a driving test.

They should probably just send a new one through the post (sorry they are bankrupt) /delivery service just like new credit cards cards are delivered.

I have never in 20 years of using the internet, used such a piece of **** website as enatis online. Does anybody with web development experience know what sort of system is used to run it? It is some sort of weird session based thing, because you click on the link to renew your card, then a line scrolls across the top of your browser and sometimes you get to the next page. But you can then enter details and click "Next" and it bombs out to the home page again.

I honestly wish cancer on the people responsible for this monstrosity.

It's when the tender gets subcontracted all the way to a freelance student to implement.

Do you need to make a booking in Gauteng or can you just pitch up and wait?

Just to revive this, I'm now making another attempt at standing in the queue. "The system is not offline" anymore but things are moving, however, what's annoying me is that there are older folk in the queue ahead who have been queuing and standing in the sun. Quite pathetic really, even home affairs has seating these days. But at least the queue is moving about 1 person every 2 minutes.
