Driving licence card mess

The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) warned that South Africa’s dysfunctional driver’s licence card issuing system is a mess.

Over the last few years, problems with getting a new driver’s licence card have regularly made headlines due to broken machines and long delays.

There is an easy way, make it digital. Make it not expire

I have it on good authority that South Africa will have a new fancy drivers card printing machine by 2046, by then I will be dead. So no problems this side.

Good old Fikile. Everything he ever touched or got involved in ended up broken. Mr Reverse Midas Touch.

The weather.

Are those that print illegal cards also having issues ?

Weird, I somehow got mine without issues just a few months ago.

So SA's new drivers license card printing machine is going to cost just shy of R 1-Billion. Something smells really fishy here...

This is what happens when people that can't count are put in charge.

What does a R900 million printer look like?

Is there a pic of our current one?

Of course not. That would expose the 25,000,000% inflated cost that the anointed tenderpreneur is charging the government for the new one, compared to the actual recommended retail price from the printer manufacturer...

Just make the current one with a 20 year expiry, problem solved.

Funny thing, every verification service expects and looks for an expiry.

Yeah that is really odd, unless they make it a valid reason to expire why expire
