PrDP renewal

I app**** in May for a renewal of my Pdp and paid all necessary bills...

I received an sms from afiswitch (police clearance) Pretoria that all is good. IN MAY

Pdp normally takes 6-8weeks so I call the Gallows Hill and no answer, I decide to take a day off from work to go and check if my new card is available only to be treated in a uncomfortable manner. The lady that is helping me tells me to step aside so she can help others with a phone in ear but speaking to no one. I decide to use my airtime and make the call. I get through and explain my situation as the traffic dept needs proof of payment as my pdp documents hasn't been approved. After 8weeks no call no sms? AFISWITCH SAYS THEY DID SEND THE NOTIFICATION I look for further assistance as I can't deal with the lady at counter 3(Vuyo)

She explains to me that they haven't received any notification from afiswitch to approve my pdp. 8weeks no ways. I get told why did I not come in earlier.. My darling it takes 6-8weeks and all my documents and payments are in order. What else are u expecting of me as an applicant? If the traffic department is not notifying me to come in why must I once again take more money for travels .... So afiswitch needs an email address so they can mail the proof but what Vuyo wants is to speak to people she knows like really now? There is a lady on the phone and u been trying to call a number that doesn't work? Here I'm on call from my cell using my airtime N u have time to waist my airtime?

I get to speak to some 1 else and I get advise that my pdp will take another whopping 4-5weeks Omg who's going to put bread on the table who's going to pay my bills if the company I work for decides to decline me from work bcoz I'm not licenced now to chauffeur? Sadness

I then get told there is a option of paying a R45 for a temporary, please u used my airtime, my time, travelling expense and now u want me to pay for something I did not even mess up? No I'm not paying.

I looked at this situation and with unemployment at such a high percentage why can't the city of cape town create jobs why must one person do 5ppls work? Why can't the department even keep track of what applications are to b processed and notify the applicant (sms costR2)

But no they don't have that system bcoz they can't keep track of all the applicants. My darling there is only 5-6 million ppl in cape town. Not everyone is going to apply at once

Also if u multiply the amount of ppl that goes for licencing it's a fortune and that's just first timers. There much more at traffic departments that we as public need and must pay for but the service from the Traffic Dept is poor and unfriendly, bad attitude,no commitment in attempting to check on applications.

Imagine I'm left without work for 4-5 weeks do I fall into the 25-27% unemployment. HE'LL NO
