COVID-19: In light of the national lockdown that will be instituted from 26/03/2020 to curb the spread of the SARS-cov2 coronavirus, all our services will be suspended from 27/03/2020 to 31/05/2020. The impact of the lockdown will affect all services that involve our administration - this includes operations such as obtaining traffic fine printouts to licence renewals and vehicle registrations.
Should the conditions of the pandemic improve by 31/05/2020 and the lockdown lifted/ scaled down, we will resume all services progressively. We urge one and all to take precaution and protect their health during this time by maintaining social distancing as well as adhere to strict sanitisation protocols.
