New number plates to be launched in Gauteng from April 1st
According to Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi, drivers in the province will be forced to apply for new, sophisticated license plates starting on April 1st.
Gauteng ran out of new numbers and letters to assign to vehicles, so the decision was made to introduce the new number plates, which should be tamper-proof and allow authorities to detect if someone crosses the border, according to Lesufi.
Renewing a license disc will require the applicant to apply for a new license plate as of April 1. It will be feasible to get a new license plate without having to renew the license disc, but not the other way around.
Premier Panyaza Lesufi told eNCA that “every crime, especially violent crime, in our province, whether it is a cash-heist, kidnapping [or] murder, a car is involved, and our licensing regime was very bad, so we will launch new number plates in Gauteng from the 1st of April.”

“We are starting afresh, all of us; every person that has a car must re-register and get a new registration number that cannot be copied and is reliable, so that we know what is happening in our province,
“Everyone must register their vehicle … If you spend 30 consecutive days in Gauteng, it means your car must be registered in Gauteng.”
