South Africa’s planned new smart card driving licence will be introduced in October 2023, with the existing card phased out over a five-year period. Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula confirmed this on Thursday in a briefing during which he provided an update on the Department of Transport driving licence interventions.
1 million backlog will be cleared by September 2022. He said the department is satisfied that between the DLCA, the RTMC and the support of the original equipment manufacturer, there is sufficient technical capacity to maintain the equipment for the foreseeable future. However, the driving licence card machine equipment will be undergoing its annual preventative maintenance from March 17 to 31.
