The Mogale City Licensing and Testing Centre announced on Monday, 29 June that it has closed its doors to the public for the time being.
This after one employee and one security guard tested positive for Covid-19.
“The temporary closure will allow for the decontamination and deep cleaning of the licensing centre and possible affected surrounding spaces,” the notice from the centre read.
The centre expects to reopen and resume normal operations on Thursday, 2 July, but may function under a reduced capacity as, according to the licensing centre, “some employees may need to self-isolate”.
Those individuals whose appointments for learner and driving license tests, license renewals and professional driving permits will be affected by the closure is said to be contacted by the centre to arrange for alternative dates.
“We apologise in advance for the inconvenience and ask for the public to visit other operating licensing centres, while also being patient when visiting our facility through this difficult phase,” the communique from the centre concluded.
