Name: Leila

Bio: Leila is an inspiring young first year student at Stellenbosch university who wants to become an entrepreneur. She comes form Port Elizabeth but is currently living in Irene res in Stellenbosch. She wants to apply for her drivers licence but wants to do the actual test during the June/July holiday when she is back home in Port Elizabeth. (she has heard rumors that they are more strict in Stellenbosch)

How does this persona relate to the problem: When applying for drivers you usually only get a test date three months after you have applied. Leila won’t be able to do her drivers test in the June/July holiday if she can only apply when she gets back home – she will have to be able to apply now while she is still in Stellenbosch. (this will be a very difficult process).
