Transport minister Fikile Mbalula has announced that driving licence testing centres, registering authorities, vehicle testing stations and driving schools will start operating from June 1.
Mbalula announced at a media briefing on Friday that he had issued directions in terms of the Disaster Management Act regarding the commencement of services and extension for the validity period of learner’s licences, driving licence cards, licence disks, professional driving permits and registration of motor vehicles.

The directions, Mbalula said, were applicable to all holders of learner’s licences, driving licences, temporary driving licences, motor vehicle licence discs, temporary permits, roadworthy certificates and professional driving permits issued in terms of the act; and all driving licence testing centres, registering authorities, vehicle testing stations and driving schools.
