Waltloo licencing centre will be back on Monday
This comes after the centre was broken into earlier this week with parts of it badly damaged.
The Waltloo testing centre will resume its normal activities on Monday, following a break-in in which parts of it were badly damaged by robbers earlier this week.
“The Department of Roads and Transport will offer only limited services at the centre until 1 March,” said roads and transport MMC Dikeledi Selowa.
“Only learner’s and driver’s license tests for candidates who made prior appointments will be accommodated at the centre.”
Selowa said there was an ongoing investigation into the thefts.
The department was working speedily to address the problems caused by the break-in to operations at the facility.

“It is inexcusable for anyone to come and steal from the same resources that their fellow community members are coming to for basic services,” she said.
“I would like to apologise to the public for any inconvenience this has caused.”
She said the relevant departments, along with police, would be working together to ensure the perpetrators were brought to book.
New security measures will also be put in place.
“We would like to remind residents that no driving licence testing centres (DLTCs) accept any cash payments.”
