A pensioner from the East Rand has given up on renewing his professional driver’s permit (PDP) after running in circles to get clearance, because he doesn’t have detectable fingerprints.

They then sent me to the police for fingerprinting, which took police almost two months to complete.
I managed to renew my PDP with that clearance document endorsed with a no print,” he explained.
