Gauteng’s Urgent Call for Expired Operating License Renewals by July 31, 2023

The Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport urgently calls on public transport operators to renew their expired operating licenses by the deadline of July 31, 2023.
Despite identifying over six thousand expired licenses, the department has received and processed less than 500 renewal applications, highlighting the need for operators to take prompt action.
The article outlines the specific requirements for license renewal, including submitting a completed application form, providing necessary documents like ID copies and tax clearance certificates, and paying a fee of R300.00 per vehicle. Operators are advised to act swiftly to avoid penalties and ensure the safety and efficiency of public transportation in the province.

Dam levels in Mpumalanga Province remain stable overall, with an average of 98.1% and higher than last year’s levels, according to the Department of Water and Sanitation’s latest report.
While some districts experienced slight declines in water levels, such as the Olifants and Inkomati-Usuthu Water Management Areas, others saw improvements or remained unchanged.
The Department emphasizes the importance of water conservation in South Africa, as a water-scarce country, and urges individuals and businesses to use water wisely to ensure water security and sustainability.
