Y2K bugs Swazi motorists

Mbabane - The millennium bug has struck in Swaziland's capital, Mbabane,
leaving motorists unable to renew their vehicle licences for the next 12
months.

Administration clerks in Mbabane have turned away motorists who wanted
to renew their licences for the period April 1 1999 to March 31 2000.

They said their computers were not year 2000 compliant and could not
record licence renewals beyond December 31 1999.

Clerks at the Mbabane offices advised motorists to try the Manzini
office, 45km away, but it was alleged that clerks at that office refused
to do Mbabane officials' work for them. ­ Sapa

(I suspect it's JoAnne in action. Too bad no info on national or provincial fiscal years.)
