The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Gauteng is deeply concerned over go-slow demonstrations by driving schools in the Centurion area today.

Driving schools highlighted their dissatisfaction with the lack of driving license test and renewal slots at traffic departments across Gauteng by embarking on a go-slow on the province's highways.

The DA does not condone these actions but do understand the frustrations of these drivers.

The DA calls on MEC for Roads and Transport, Jacob Mamabolo to urgently conduct an audit of the slots available to ascertain exactly why the slots allocated to municipalities are not being made available to the general public.

We cannot have a situation where traffic is disrupted in order for action to be taken. This problem has been going on for months. The DA has already written to the MEC as well as the Road Traffic Corporation Management with suggestions on how this problem can be solved.
