SA drivers licence card machine back in production

JOHANNESBURG - South Africa's only driving licence card production machine is back in action.

That is according to the Transport Department.

The machine had been offline for the past 3 weeks while it was being repaired.

The backlog for the past five weeks currently sits at 350,000 licence cards.

Government is assuring motorists it has a catch-up plan to address the backlog and it will be cleared by the end of August.
