You can get one tomorrow here in the states.

 

 

Is this a Santa story or is this remotely true -- ?

 

Yes it is true. But then you will have to contact the smaller towns, which will be places like Koppies Heibron or Vredefort. These are just names of towns arround Sasolburg that I know of that locals go to for their licences. A fellow worker made an appointment for his son in Koppies last week after failing it here in Sasolburg for the 3rd consecutive time. He got an appointment for 2-3 days later, and his son got it there the first time.

I live in a township north of pretoria. There are no lines. PM me if I can help.

How long ago was this?? Because nowadays they are SERIOUSLY strict on people making appointments in other towns - i tried in two other towns...no go

Ok -- just some newly learnt practical advice on the new system - which just proves that often truth IS stranger than fiction ..

 

When you make an appointment and by some divine or other intervention, you get an earlier appointment somewhere else or even at the same testing station, it is IMPOSSIBLE to change the logged appointment to the earlier date! (yip!)

When you make the appointment, it seems that you are then on a system (at least on provincial level, as far as I could ascertain) that will not allow you to make a 2nd appointment in another town

Ok -- for those in need of good news ...

 

Yesterday morning I went to the Traffic Dept, asked to see the superintendent, asked if there was any chance of an appointment still this year. No bribes, no frills, no stories. Just a simple request.

AND ... was given an appointment next week!

 

So .. miracles do still happen .. in SA .. in 2008.
