South Africa is facing a big problem with renewing driver’s licences because the only machine that prints the cards has broken down. This has left many people stuck with temporary licences and waiting in long lines. The government is trying to fix the situation, but legal issues make it tricky to get new machines. People are frustrated, as they need their valid licences for work and daily life. A proposed solution is to extend the licence validity from five to ten years, which could help ease the backlog and improve the system for everyone.
