Randburg Licensing Department

I had sat for an entire day renewing my drivers license and it was an extremely painful exercise and non productive day sitting there. Only to have my purse ****** which I suppose is a daily problem in south Africa not even 3 weeks later. I returned sat for another 5.5 hours another unproductive day and re app**** for my drivers license and temporary which has since expired. I have returned and stood in the collections q three times now at an hour each time. Only to be told they still striking which has been since April.

I have no drivers license and no temporary as it has expired, each time I go to the department they tell me they striking which has been for the past 6 months. I then messaged the cell number provided to check if they have my application which they say they don't and every time I go there is no one to help me and just blank stares and I was now told come back again maybe in January.

I have a number of problems -I will be arrested driving without a license -If I am in an accident my insurance will not pay out -Who is going to pay for my time to sit there again for 4 hours -I booked on line 1st appointment is 3rd December -My eye test has now expired - who is going to pay for my new eye test to be done -Who is going to pay for the reapplication of temporary and drivers -Who is going to pay for me to go get more photos more certified copies of everything?

This is ridiculous!!!!! How do i get a drivers license in south Africa, please can someone answer me!!!!!!!!
