The Ekurhuleni council‚ encompassing the former East Rand‚ is introducing a project to teach high school pupils how to drive as part of a road safety initiative.
Beneficiaries of the programme will receive free driver’s licences‚ which will be valid for two years.
Ekurhuleni spokesperson Themba Gadebe said the aim of the project was to instill a culture of adhering to the rules of the road in young people’s minds as well as to do away with the irregularities of acquiring driver’s licences.
Grade 11 and 12 learners from 141 of the 161 high schools in Ekurhuleni are participating in the programme‚ according to the government report.
Driver’s Licence Testing Centres will handle the applications for learner’s licences‚ issuing of learner’s licences and the learner’s licence classes for the scholars. The Grade E Satellite Driver’s Licence Testing Centres‚ in Tsakane and Thokoza‚ are also involved in the project.
The centres will operate on specified Saturdays to accommodate the scholars programme.
