Transport minister Fikile Mbalula has cleared the air on the controversial R250 booking fee to renew a driving licence, claiming the cost is not new.
The RTMC also issued a statement, claiming the fee is not new, nor is it additional.
“It is money paid for the production of the credit card form driving licence. The proposed change seeks to make it convenient for driving licence cardholders to make this payment online when booking to renew driving licence cards,” said the RTMC. “To improve efficiency and cut the time the public spends queuing at the licensing centres, it is proposed that the public will have an option to make online payments for renewal of driving licence cards or vehicle licence disks and to have these documents delivered directly to the address of their choice,” it said.
