People standing in queues at the Langlaagte drivers and learners licence testing centre in Amalgam, Johannesburg.Some driving schools in Gauteng are offering guaranteed pass for learner and driving tests and in certain instances, the applicant does not even have to go through the assessment at all.
During the probe, investigators conducted social media searches on driving schools in the province and selected a sample of 24 of them to determine the fees. Of the 24, seven driving schools offered a guaranteed pass with a going rate of R6,500. Provincial government instituted investigation in 2021 into the allegations of corruption at DLTCs after the province suffered huge backlog of people struggling to secure slots for the renewal of their drivers licences. Members of the public also made allegations that there is rampant corruption at DLTCs which affects the services provided.
In most instances, there are no CCTV cameras in the yard of the DLTC which can be monitored to flag irregularities. On the securing the online booking slots, Ligwa Advisory Services, which investigated DLTCs, obtained data from April 1 2019 to May 31 2021 for analysis.
