The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality’s Traffic and Licensing Centres in Uitenhage and Korsten are currently experiencing long queues as per the norm this time of the year before the opening of schools.
Acting Director for Safety and Security, Mr Shane Brown, said although no formal complaints were received, the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality would like to advise clients that they must be prepared to spend longer time than usual at the centres as a result of the long queues.
“Our workers are doing their best under the circumstances to assist clients as quickly as possible but due to the influx of people to the centres before the opening of schools, queues will remain long in the next few days to come,” he added.
The municipality would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused and would like to advise clients to wait until after this unusually busy period, if they can, to avoid frustration.

How many additional staff were employed to cope with the “busy” time? If this is a historically busy time then all staff should be working flat out. My experience at the licensing dept. was – we started with 3 operators and then 1 disappeared for half an hour. The operators were averaging 8 mins per client, the queue was almost at the door. I would love to hear how many operators are working at this peak time?
