Waltloo testing centre reopens following protest
Last week Friday, protesters shut down the centre over the issue of the online system.
The Waltloo testing centre is fully operational following last week’s protest.
Last Friday, the National Driving School Association of SA (NDSASA) closed down the Waltloo centre during a protest as they demanded the Tshwane metro scrap the online system.
Tshwane road and transport MMC Dikeledi Selowa spoke to the protesters outside the centre and informed them the metro was working with the Department of Transport to resolve the matter.
“I agree that the eNatis online booking system is failing,” Selowa said.

“The slots are not managed by the city; we release the slots and they (Department of Road and Transport) disperse them. I am aware that you are unable to manage your finances because of not being able to get a slot for your clients,” she said.
Last week Monday, the centre was broken into.
Silverton police spokesperson Warrant Officer Isaac Mcunu said a case of armed robbery was opened for investigation.
“A computer and cellphones belonging to the security was taken. No arrest have been made,” he said.
The Department of Transport and Road Transport Management Corporation did not comment by the time of going to print.
