The conclusion by Transport Minister Sibusiso Ndebele to expand the ending period of the learner's licence by 6 months to 2 years is welcome news for a lot of frustrated by long delay in the booking system.
Expansion should ease tension between the Ministry and Gauteng magistrate Daniel Thulare, who put the spanner in the workings early this month by advice holders of learner's licences to drive without licences provide they can prove their documents expire after they had try to be tested many times to no avail.
Still, we believe the Minister will soon be surprised to find there is still delay despite the addition, thanks to the booking system itself which is manipulated by persons acting in cahoots with driving schools to coerce the public to pay an extra fee to secure scarcely available slots.
Thus, jacking up of interior systems is still wanted to solve the problem once and for all.
