Article 12 - A light at the end of the Tunnel...? All to no avail!

What Happened Here?

The GPA told all Driver's Licence Testing Centers (DLTC) on 10 July '06 to utilise all  available test appointments. THIS INSTRUCTION IS NOT BEING COMPLIED WITH. 

In July '07 as an experiment, Email bookings were allowed. An Email booking was done directly through the Test Center. Sadly this was discontinued but for the first time in FIVE YEARS the center was filled nearer to capacity. 

An instruction from the Gauteng Provincial Administration (GPA) was sent out

At last we received a letter indicating that someone at least was listening and finding a sensible solution. The test grounds were so empty they took on a death-like quality while everyone was asking us every moment of every day how they could get an appointment to be tested for some urgent reason. However, for reasons known only to the authorities, the instructions contained in this letter have not been carried out for more than a year and still the test centres are not filled to capacity. View Article 12

On 22 June 07, frustrated SAIDI asked why the GPAs instructions had not been carried out

According to this related article it was promised that infamous Call Center was to be closed by the end of 2006 - it is still open, why has this not been done yet? View Article 12a 

Newspaper says DLTC has 25 examiners in Pretoria / Centurion

The instructors have never seen 25 examiners in the last 5 years of dealing with the DLTC's View Article 12b

The reason why the instruction from the GPA was ignored

The DLTC felt it would cause chaos at the testing centres View Article 12c

SAIDI's primary concern:  Test appointments cannot be obtained

Dr Kok said "So although I am sensitive to the lack of testing capacity, I can not reduce the complex functional environment of the DLTC’s to only one priority i.e. testing." View Article 12d

Admit it... "The department is inefficient"

SAIDI said "Our primary concern is that we cannot obtain test appointments" we have been prevented from carrying out our responsibility. View Article 12e
