South Africa’s 5-year Driver’s Licence Cards

Legal challenge against South Africa’s 5-year driver’s licence cards, and I quote,
The North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria heard Afriforum’s legal application calling for the scrapping of the five-year validity periods on South Africa’s driver’s licence cards on Monday, 7 August 2023.
The civil rights organisation has dragged the Minister of Transport and Road Traffic Management Corporation to court over the expiry of licence cards, which it believes is unlawful and irrational.
Daniël Eloff, director at the law firm Hurter Spies, which represents Afriforum in the matter, has argued the regulations limiting the validity period of the cards conflicted with the National Road Traffic Act (NRTA), which determines that South Africa’s driver’s licences can never expire.
