"According to the official licence fraud was so extensive that it would take Willie Hofmeyr's special investigating unit six years to unravel the fraud networks and identify the guilty persons.""President Thabo Mbeki ordered Hofmeyr's unit in February to investigate the large-scale licence fraud after preliminary information indicated about 50 percent of driver's licences in the country were invalid.

For a country in which people drive on the left, an illegal drivers license is nothing to sneeze at. Its amazing any one can obtain a drivers license with the right connection. But that's South Africa.

Of course half of S.A. drivers have illegal licenses, because half of San Antonio drivers are illegal aliens, what do you expect? Oh ... wait ... nevermind ...

How boring. In Swaziland you obtain a drivers license in exchange for a bottle of whiskey. Not sure what the current price in SA is. In Pakistan, it's about USD100.
It's just so much more convenient to buy them. And you can start collecting them too.
