STATEMENT BY MAYORAL COMMITTEE MEMBER FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY, ALDERMAN JP SMITH The City of Cape Town is in the process of devising operational plans for the return to service of Driving License Testing Centres (DLTCs) in the metropole.
There has been confirmation from the National Transport
Department that DLTCs in metropolitan areas will reopen on 1 June 2020 .
For the City, there is much to consider around the safety of clients, but also staff members, in relation to the health and hygiene protocols in place to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, the sanitisation of shared spaces, advancing social distancing and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
DLTCs are arguably among the busiest City spaces, which means that extra care and attention needs to be placed on the protocols to ensure that we are able to deliver a service with as little risk as possible.
We note the announcement that these spaces be opened from 1 June and will initially service the needs of essential services workers.
The City is committed to this target date, but will only open the doors if we are completely satisfied that all necessary health and safety measures are in place.
