The driving licence card printing backlog could be cleared earlier than previously expected.
The Driving Licence Card Account expects to clear the card printing backlog by end-June 2022 — two months earlier than transport minister Fikile Mbalula had promised.
“The Driving License Card Account has managed to clear the backlog of 640,000, which resulted from the machine breakdown in November 2021. Since January 2022, the DLCA has printed over 1 million driving cards,” they added. As of 31 March 2022, there was still a significant backlog of cards to be printed, and applications to be submitted.The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse raised concerns that traffic police could extort motorists who had applied to renew their licence, but hadn’t received it yet due to the backlog.
