I went to renew my credit card licence on the 21st January because it was expiring on the 31st January. After sitting there the entire day waiting to have my eyes tested, finger prints taken. (of course everything has a cue, which is out the door halfway down the road. So you can imagine how excited I was when I received notification in the post yesterday to collect my licence at Waltloo testing station. I rushed out there this afternoon only to discover that I had in the meantime had a sex change and have joined the tribes.
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh I cannot tell you how frustrated I am currently feeling and there is absolutely NOTHING that one can do. I now need to just wait another 5 weeks until they can issue me with another licence. What do I do in the meantime I ask? The answer I got was to fork out another R80 odd to get a temporary licence. "NOT OVER MY DEAD BODY WILL I GIVE THE CITY OF TSHWANE ANYMORE MONEY TO PAY FOR THEIR C%$CK UPS!"
Sex and race change, all for free LOL
Never mind, i still have my book of life from SA
I was born in 1941. in the book of life i was also married that day LOL LOL LOL meanpuff
eishhh dunja, ireally must insist u stop eating traditional foods,, and the local beers,,, u changed overnite!!!!!
Dunja, what's even scarier is that your drivers licence may be somewhere out there already
When Greg and I got remarried we popped into the local magistrate in Heidelberg to arrange a time and date, the chap checked our ID books and this is what we discovered......Greg was still married to me and his second marriage and divorce was never registered. Thank goodness I still had the divorce papers...rushed home handed them over and the chap promptly divorced Greg and I and then two day later remarried us

I did the renewal ting the other day .. went to Milnerton first .. walked out in disgust .. no helpdesk .. long queues .. a colleague told me to go to Stellenbosch .. what a breath of fresh air .. helpful stafff .. you walk in and ask .. they first make sure you got everything and then direct you .. state of the art Eqpt .. they only used one of the pics i took and that was to attach to the handwritten form .. the rest all electronic .. eye test like a Video game with joystick .. fingerprint electronicallytaken .. picture taken electronically ... all in the same sitting .. i was out well within an hour .. 3 weeks later got letter telling me to collect .. was well worth the drive ibto the country .. see its not alll bad ...???
Well my mom went to Milnerton to renew hers, walked in , sorted ,and out. Maybe she just got lucky.
What I don't get is - how come driver's licenses can be done so efficiently and home affairs just screw up with IDs and passports - one would think they'd ask for help and advice!
Hey !! my ID and passport locked up securely .. I dare not loose them... I do not want to go through a live rendition of hell ..
Need to renew my passport and dreading it!
Tell me when I wear black armband for you during your trying time .. unless.. you hit it lucky .. Ive heard tose good stories as well .. my good friend Jan had to go to home affairs .. and he said he met a " black angel ' so efficient so everything that represents good service ...

I was helping my mother sort out her paperwork a while ago, when her birth certificate came up. All done in that fancy old style German handwriting with the matching swastika and eagle stamp featuring predominantly at the bottom. Somehow it just put everything into perspective for me, the hardships and daily struggle that my parents and grandparents had gone through all those years under Nazi rule, and the years that followed after the war.
I gave her a big hug and told her again how much we love and appreciate her.
