![]() The AA said the proposed fees must be seen in the context of the RTMC’s stated surplus for 2019/2020 of almost R262 million, which already indicates that motorists are being substantially overcharged for services rendered by the corporation. How do I know it’s included? Where does it say anywhere in the Gazette that it is included?” he said. “It’s left to everybody to make up their own mind and the RTMC has now got the gall to go on Twitter to say it’s included. “They don’t put any context or provide any explanation and there is nothing that says this is in and this is out. The AA said they also demonstrate a lack of sensitivity to the current plight of motorists who simply cannot renew their driving licences.īeard said the AA’s earlier statement is 100% accurate, adding that the RTMC is interacting with the public of South Africa by giving them half-baked information. It said the proposed fees – seen in the context of the poor to non-existent service delivery rendered by the RTMC currently – seek to extract as much revenue from already cash-strapped citizens without providing any associated benefit to them. The AA earlier said in a statement the proposed amended fees for services offered by the RTMC “are beyond outrageous and show deep contempt for the citizens of South Africa”. It doesn’t make mention of any of that,” he said. It doesn’t say it is excluded in the price of the card. “It doesn’t say this is included in the price of the card.

There are no more walk-ins, hence the R250 online booking fee,” he said.ĪA spokesperson Layton Beard said the Government Gazette notice is not explicit at all and “it’s not my job to clarify it on behalf of the RTMC”. “Remember that driving licence renewal bookings are only done online. The only difference is that in future a motorist can opt to do these online rather than at the Driving Licence Test Centres and they will be able to opt to have the documents delivered to them. However, Department of Transport spokesperson Sam Monareng told Moneyweb on Tuesday the RTMC had clarified the issue and confirmed that the transaction fee has remained unchanged at R72 while the R250 fee is the cost that is currently paid when motorists apply for a new driving licence card. The Automobile Association (AA) and Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) have both slammed the driving licence renewal fee proposals. The Government Gazette notice did not list any separate fee for providing this service. 'It’s not really over' - Lack of clarity on closure of e-tolls raises concerns ![]()
