The Department of Transport says South Africa’s only driving licence card printing machine has broken down and will take 2–3 weeks to repair. In a statement issued on Wednesday, the department said the breakdown occurred after “routine maintenance.”

The maintenance started on 5 April and ended on 19 April 2023.

“Thereafter the technical team encountered a technical breakdown which requires a replacement of a critical part from the Original Equipment Manufacturer,” it said.

South Africa’s driving licence card printing machine has been in and out of action at least twice over the past two years, causing significant backlogs.

When news broke of the first outage, South Africans also learned that the country only had one printing machine.

Automobile Association of South Africa spokesperson Layton Beard explained that the country only has one machine to avoid giving corrupt officials a gap to flood the country with fraudulent driver’s licences. “You don’t want to have a situation where the printing of licence cards is farmed out to the DLTCs,” stated Beard. “You may find yourself in a worse position in terms of illegal driving license cards that are in circulation.”

Probably, same applies to any 3rd world shithole. Like in India, you can just buy the drivers license outright, without doing any actually tests, practical or theory.
