Johannesburg - "It's nothing to write home about," said Transport Department spokesperson Collen Msibi when told that part of the eNatis website had been hacked.
He said it wouldn't affect the functioning of the controversial electronic national transport information system licensing system.
Now, the whole site has been taken over.

Initially it was just the "how do I" link that had been hacked.
The message ""Sorry bro..anda terlambat. Patch By Tao. OK?!!." appeared on a blank screen.
In May, the crashing of the eNatis system caused chaos in the licensing system and the fracas ended up in court when the department attempted to prevent Beeld newspaper from reporting on a confidential report about eNatis before it was presented to Parliament.
The report had warned that it was possible to hack into eNatis; that one did not need a password to log on as an eNatis administrator and that documents on eNatis were not secured.
The newspaper won the case in the Pretoria High Court.
