South Africa is in a tough spot with its driver’s licence system. An old printing machine, breaking down often, can’t keep up with the growing number of renewals. This has caused long waits and frustration for many drivers. The government is caught in a messy situation, facing criticism over how they chose a new printer, which is now under investigation for not following the rules. As citizens like Nomvula struggle to get their licences on time, everyone is watching to see how the Department of Transport will fix this problem.
