South African motorists could face further delays when renewing their driver’s licence card as the country’s only printing machine has broken down for the second time in less than a year.
“The machine is reported to have not been working for two weeks now, and there is an indication that processes are underway to ensure that by the end of this week, it is operational,” Jakula told MyBroadband.MyBroadband asked the Road Traffic Management Corporation and the Department of Transport for comment, but they had not responded by the time of publication., it was out of commission until end-January.
Worse, the department had acknowledged the machine was run-down and needed to be replaced as far back as March 2021.
Can we actually get anything right in this country?🤷♂️
ALL printers suck.
We have screen printing go well
Again he should ask how many they have in Dubai
The country must just close down, after how many months it came from repaired really is joke. For so millions really is a joke
MalumXilaman Let’s take out this government in 2024 please
He should go back to netball..
Due to incompetent Minister
Siholwa yizuduphunga. Yingani uwodwa?
As planned....
It’s broken just like the Transport Minister
_mariamebrahim_ Life just doesn’t want you on the roads 🤧😂
Fikile yena he think a country and lives of people are dependent on social media. He just run Mickey mouse business in transport department. The most collapsing department is our transport. Worse infrastructure ever and Fikile's job is talking too much less sense.
Until next June again.!?
The jokes really write themselves.
Oh Eish, it is bad when you cannot plan.
Only 1 machine for the entire country?
Labenza ama fake ID banawo umshini ababoleke wona
Welele😊😊😊 Ayikho lento kaMbalula. Ukhuluma kakhulu bt fruits Dololo😂
This is just hopelessness galore really what happened to contingency
MbalulaFikile I have a 3D scanner and my DM is open 😎
Nonsense
Like any other hustler... here pick a card, any card
And there are still people who take the ANC seriously 😭😭
Abramjee Useless
🤣🤣
Bathong the new one from Germany? 😭😭😭
Mbalula is wearing a mafia ring as wedding ring
😂😂😂😂😂
🥲
Why is there ONLY 1 MACHINE! Surely there must be least 1, or 2 or 3, backup machines! The best option would be 1 for each province. Then licences, ID'S, passports for every application can be completed rapidly. I cannot fathom the stupidity!
1 year gone without a L card, and I have 2months waiting for a replacement... I should just accept my DL being a paper... I even took a photo of it, because who can go everywhere with a paper?
We only have one machine
SA is a Netflix Documentary... Scene after scene...
Let's spend more money on new cars,Utilitie bills and flights for Ministers ...🤐
Maybe go to eff office to have them printed there? Seen reports that this office prints passports and ID's. So a driver's license should be easy. But not too sure if this is true.
We still only have one? Mbalula said after the last breakage, he will buy 3. What happened?
Still waiting for mine since January 14
Kana it’s the same machine we’re still paying Schabir Shaik for neh?
Everything in this Cyril economy is breaking while PFMA babies AthiGeleba are traveling to NYC and Saudi Arabia at the taxpayers expense, instead of implementing austerity measures to save money so MbalulaFikile can fix the license card machine
How can a bunch of people be so useless
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 Its happened before and nothing was leant. Fix Fokkol 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
And it has to be fixed ko Germany.. I wonder why we aren't skilling our own people to have this knowledge
MbalulaFikile is useless
Useless government 😡😡big mouth Mbalula
Maybe someone from „Operation Dudula“ can help…
oooohahaha = it is from printing all the false cards?
👁️👁️
Something as useless as e-toll is not breaking, ask your self Y?
This is a joke really
Haaa?
How is there only 1 printing machine
Only?
maggsnaidu I hope nobody is expecting a viable solution from MbalulaFikile aka Mr.FixFokol
eisch.. too many people are suffering!
He's in Dubai organizing a new one
What a circus
😂😂😂😂
Got to love Africa
in a nation with 60 million people, here is a great idea... We buy another 2 printing machines.. How did we do this when the whole world sanctioned us? Lets do that again, I know kickbacks will be a bit less but we all have to make a small sacrafice to stay here
Lapho I've been waiting for mine since March
If failure was a person
Get a BEE tender to fix it. It will be cheaper than pot holes
Machine is thinking Joh, I'm tired now...let me rest! We should also let many of our politicians rest Hulle kannie dink nie...te moeg
Give us a word template we print for ourselves using our home printers. Forget about this skorokoro machine
How the hell do they break this machine? Or is it the strategic plan to tender for a new one with billions of Rands?
We are all on candid camera....surely
In the words of our inevitable president, Squirrel Whataposer, I am shocked.
and there is a whole department with people getting salaries. Another sabotage?🤣🤣🤣🤣
What if the retired engineers who Normally fix the machine are dead? Will the country have no licenses on top of the high crime rate?
This country isn't real man, there's absolutely no ways. Siphi na!!!
Zimasabuhle The new machine must produce card made of sheet metal that will last life time.
So its going back to German for repair, while we have engineers here at home.
Explains why I’ve been waiting for my card for 7 weeks now😩😩
Hello Africa, tell me how you doing?
🤣🤣🤣
Just sms us our licenses at this point. Thank you bye
We must must have some relief then from the traffic officers.
That time our licences looks like Laminated paper 🤦if it looked like Smart ID I would understand...
JarredJThompson
🇩🇪 here we come
We're not angry enough as South Africans 🤞🏾
Someone cadre just needed a tender
Why is there only one!!!!?
So MbalulaFikile Mr Fixit? What are you going to do now? 🤭
LeahJazzLive you jinxed it😭😭😂😂😂😂😂
Want hulle kan met niks werk nie, alles wat hulle aanraak en met werk breek.
UlrichJvV zaiku09 now what?
The big question is what are we doing as citizens to correct this mess? Nothing at all we don't protest we do nothing. If anc wins next election we must prepare for worse.
Bolekani i1 yase Home Affairs nisebenze
Yoh. Everything in this country breaks. One shot. 👏🏽
Someone charge the germans with fruitless and wasteful expenditure
New tender loading - LICENSE CARD SHEDDING
Once a machine malfunctions especially the first time...It begins to be a recurring problem... Now due to backloc and a single machine being used... That machine was working serious overtime when it came back... To think it was not gonna break again is ridiculous.
Why do we have one printing machine?🤔🤔🤔
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So this photo opportunity minister MbalulaFikile didn't plan ahead for this eventuality.
South Africa ke movie 😭😭😭
Nooo fuck I just did my license 😑
The fact that licenses per se shouldn't expire and we were forced to renew due to a technicality is reason enough to accept the sheer incompetence ye government
Where is our minister of transport with his loud mouth. Always has something to say....nothing worth listening to. The ANC is always showing us the middle finger they don't CARE. Lucas Mangope did warn us about these jail birds.😭
German Company owes 'ZA' a refund...or are under attack ? Question : why are so many of SA institutions breaking so frequently sometimes simultaneously since last year ?
We need to stop embarrassing ourselves like this
Whose the drag kween in there MbalulaFikile
MbalulaFikile imagine having a father who's a loser like you, every department you touch turns into horse manure.....you're a disgrac
MbalulaFikile shapa speech.
MbalulaFikile, are you going to accompany the machine to Germany?
antoneosoul 😂😂
😂😂😂😭
We must just use a page at this point, just write the info and drive
One has to ask, why they didn't buy another one when this one went for repairs the first time?
This country is a circus
This guy told us he's getting rid of that scrap. He was changing the current card to a new one. Thus making all of us pay for the new one.
🤡🤡
Minister of Twitter MbalulaFikile nxxxx ayikho indaba yakho useless nje shlama se Minister nxxx🚮🚮🚮
Ai just like the Power Stations, The Water Pumps and so on and so on🤦🏽♂️
New tender loading…
Who is controlling the Tender to print Driver's license? It's looks like the S A government does not have the state company that print driver's license card
Here's the culprit 👉🏾 Eskom_SA...
Weeh
dee_eddi These jokes write themselves…
2 times I been to collect my card. 2 times my finger print didn't register. No one called to let a person know. But they sell you a temp license quick quick. Now this. Seriously 6 months and still no card. Joke of a dame place that we live in.
Soon will be privatized like others
At some point the jokes just aren't funny anymore 😏
Uphi uFikzozo madoda azoshitshela inganengwani? MbalulaFikile
Can we at least see the picture of this machine
Ntombikayise_x Scenes😂😂
Abramjee Everything the ANC cadre touches turns into shit!
Welele😭😭😭✋🏾
ANC must stop putting their friendships ahead of service delivery. What has the Mbalula achieved since joining the elite league?
Back to Germany again ? 😳😳😳😳
Abramjee Fikile is such a fk!ng useless minister. If only one us working why not have another repaired in case it breaks down you have a back up... buy no, let's run one machine and pray!🙏🏼
Wehhh
Aaiiii no electricity no water no drivers license.....
🤣🤣🤣 what a fall from Grace for my beloved SA. I was watching the Doctor Khumalo Documentary on 161 - people were so optimistic about the country's future. It's been downhill since 94, we had a glimmer of hope in 2010, but things have just been spiralling out of control since.
Ain’t no way my boy
🤣🤣✋🏽
Andikruquke yile country esikuyo 🙄😔 like is there no one competent? 🙆♀️🤷♀️
What about 'We are introducing a new card license machine, at the first cabinet sitting of this year, I’ll present it for approval. This is a process that has been ongoing The old machine broke down during this process. It’s now being fixed in made in Germany' MbalulaFikile
Fok, not again
😂
Abramjee Use the zim one then.
Yo lavidaNOTA I think you should pay MbalulaFikile a visit.
You’ve been Schucksed, it’s Leon Schuster. There is a camera over there
Can’t they use the one that makes ID cards?🤔
Nothing is working in this country .
😂😂 ai south africa
It’s because the minister is broken
mr fuckup
😂
MbalulaFikile Please take as much time as you need to fix that machine. make sure its tested proper, it can even stay there overseas for a year being tested... no rush as long as your officers wont be asking drivers license when they pull us up
I can drive with no license and my excuse is 'the machine is broken'
😂 it feels like some sick reality tv show!! The is no way things could be crumbling all at ones 😂 simultaneously concurrently all together
You see why black leadership is undermined? because of 🤡🤡 clowns like these
😂
very nice will keep voting them
Ofhie57405558 🙄.
I think it's time we go do this at Union Building🤔
Lmao😭😹😹😹
😂 wtf? Why is there only one machine
Jess_D_A 👮🏾♂️Ke kopa go bona license 🧔🏽♂️ constable, mochene o robegile
South Africa's only ANC was broken since 1994.
maryjaneexplore Ay shame 😂
😂😂😂
maryjaneexplore Was this made in China perhaps?
Mthigo_ This country surely is some social experiment
Did they fix it with superglue last time🙆🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🤬🤬
This is a joke, no countability in SA
Sebenamanga manje buka🤞🏾
TimModise Oh Lord, really?!🤦♀️
So does this mean more waiting?
Mthigo_ Welele
TimModise I’m one of the lucky ones.. just got my renewed card 😓
Normal so normal Mr fix corruption
🤣😂😂what shit is this?
So surprising
Then turn temps into permanent and having the printed version optional. The die hard Green Barcode ID ones are not in to for convenience anyway
LeahJazzLive , you asked earlier.
We have many unemployed graduates who can solve or create a better machine if given a chance But ANC only thinks of their stomachs and children
Ey Nkosi yam....our country 😭😭
guguprudencem
Mantshinga Lol.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is embarazing 😭😭😭😭😭
Bass_Mad Minister know fokkel probably played with the machine 🙈
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
MbalulaFikile -- come and see.
He said they're introducing a new machine which is going to be on par with the rest of the world l.
We only have 1? The whole country...1?
Thats why ngingenayo. Every 5 years i go renew and I never pick up.
