The Department of Transport says that its ‘smart enrolment’ trial in certain testing centres this year proved to be a success, with the plans to roll out the system to the rest of the country in 2023.
Mbalula said that, to date, the department has managed to process and produce in excess of 2 million cards, dealing with the backlog.
Despite this progress, he said that some 1.2 million motorists are still on the roads with expired licences. He said that three-quarters of those who have not renewed their driving licences are between the ages of 25 and 50 years; 15% between the ages of 50 and 60 years; 17% above 60. “Our investigations have revealed that the vast majority of those who are not renewing their licences have infringements,” he said.In a statement on Thursday, Cabinet said the technology has since evolved, and it is becoming expensive to maintain the current infrastructure.
