PSA slams Transport Department for failing to fix 20-year-old licence machine

# The Public Servants Association says delays in renewing driving licences are unacceptable, as South Africa’s only licence card printer has been broken since February. The PSA is calling on the Department of Transport to urgently repair or replace the outdated machine, which has been in use for over 20-years. The association’s Claude Naiker warns that irregular procurement processes and court battles are worsening the crisis and suggests extending licence validity to ten-years to ease pressure.
