Cape Town - Learner’s and driver’s licence testing has ground to a halt due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Nine of the City’s 18 testing centres - Bellville, Brackenfell, Fish Hoek, Gallows Hill, Gordon’s Bay, Hillstar, Kuils River, Somerset West and Lingelethu West - have closed after positive cases of the virus.
Van der Walt was told that there has been a backlog of learner’s licence holders whose permits expired in June and who were unable to complete a driver’s. She received an SMS on June 10, saying: “Good day, kindly note you will be contacted with regards to your driver’s appointment at Goodwood Traffic Centre. All vehicles must be sanitised by your instructor.” She has received no further update.
“The respective driver’s licence testing centre will call and schedule a new date for those who had a driving or learner’s licence test. However, driving instructors said that there had been a lack of communication from the traffic department on this matter.
