The department of transport plans to introduce a new driver’s licence card this year and implement a bouquet of measures to improve the service the public receives when visiting and interacting with driving licence test centres (DLTCs).
Transport minister Fikile Mbalula confirmed this on Friday after delivering his budget vote speech, adding that his department is looking at launching and rolling out the new card before the end of this year.
Mbalula said the national department of transport wants to “kill the queues at DLTCs and is also working on undermining the corruption involved in the booking of DLTC slots, especially in Gauteng”. He said this is to ensure that getting a driver’s licence does not become a cumbersome and stressful journey, and to make it accessible.

DURBAN - THE hood was lifted on how some stolen vehicles were “chopped” and shipped abroad when two Durban businesses were caught red-handed wheeling and dealing in stolen cars and parts.
Both companies, as juristic persons, admitted guilt and entered into a Section 105 plea agreement with the State at the Durban Regional Court recently.
South X South 29 (PTY) LTD and Gounden and Gounden CC, trading as Wind Motors, were the accused in the matter.
South X South was established in 2018 and specialised in exports, while Wind Motors is well-known in the Durban area for trading in second-hand parts as well as building and modifying cars.
