Driver's licence renewal mess — no choice but to extend preposterous deadline

The Department of Transport will have no choice but to extend the 31 August 2021 deadline for renewing driver's licences again, Outa CEO Wayne Duvenage has said.

"The broken system that government is relying on has not been addressed since the state introduced an eight-month extension to licence renewal deadlines," said Duvenage.

Bribe to be legal: Gauteng licence renewers resort to crime as deadline looms

The province's eNaTIS system is under heavy strain and people are even choosing new modes of transport so they don't have to drive illegally. But Transport MEC Jacob Mamabolo says the structure works.

JOHANNESBURG - As the deadline hovers for motorists to renew their expired drivers' licences, some people in Gauteng are resorting to desperate and illegal measures in order to access the Department of Transport's online booking system.

In all likelihood, thousands of panicked drivers will not meet the 31 August 2021 deadline to renew their lapsed documents, which was already pushed back by months because of COVID-19 restrictions.

Why don't these retards just have an electronic system like the most of the planet

Not only licenses that expired last year. You can't renew your license that expired this year due to the backlog this has created, the broken system, and non-working equipment. All licenses should be extended indefinitely until the mess is sorted. Then it should be only once every 10 years at least.

Definitely. You are not going to get a slot in time.
