​The Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport has signed an agreement with the provincial leg of National Driving School Association of South Africa (NDSASA) and the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC), paving a way for stability and cooperation in the sector.
MEC for Public Transport and Roads Infrastructure Jacob Mamabolo had earlier convened talks between the driving school operators and the RTMC in a bid to facilitate a peaceful resolution to the dispute relating to the e-Natis system.
The agreement follows service delivery disruptions resulting from the closure of Driver Licence Testing Centres across the province. 
Said the MEC of the agreement "our view has always been that the negotiation table is the only mechanism we can use to resolve problems. This agreement goes to show that we resolve the most complex problems by talking to each other and not through violence and intimidation".
The agreement serves to, amongst others, establish and regulate the relationship between parties and for collaboration to create a platform for discussion and negotiations.
It is expected that the signing of the agreement will usher in a consultative platform for driving school operators and the provincial government together with the RTMC. This will provide all parties with a common platform to share information and address concerns that relate to this critical service.
