Afriforum says court documents filed by transport minister Fikile Mbalula have revealed the real reason why driver’s licence cards expire every five years.

South Africa’s driving licence cards are valid for five years because the material they were originally made from was believed to only last that long.responding to Afriforum’s challengeThe civil rights organisation maintains that it is unlawful for licence cards to expire, saying it is inconsistent with the National Road Traffic Act.

“The court record shows that it is an entirely inadequate and irrational explanation to prescribe the five-year renewal period simply because the material of the driver’s license cards allegedly cannot last longer,” said Afriforum campaign officer Reiner Duvenage.The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse and Automobile Association of South Africa have advocated for a 10-year validity period for the cards.

It favours a 10-year validity period as it would lower the administrative burden on road traffic departments that have to handle renewals. This was exacerbated by years of alleged corruption at driver’s licence testing centres , Covid-19, andMore recently, Mbalula has appeared to come around to the idea and repeatedly said his department was looking at extending the validity period.
