South Africa is facing a big problem with driver’s licences because an old, single machine broke down, stopping over 600,000 licences from being printed. This mess came from years of poor planning and delays, leaving many drivers stuck and worried about their legal right to drive. The government is trying new ideas, like making a new printing machine with help from another department, and giving drivers a grace period while they fix things. Despite the troubles, people keep hoping and working together to find solutions and get back on the road.
