Govt proposes R250 fee for online driving license renewal

The Department of Transport has proposed that motorists should cough up R250 for an online booking of their driver's license renewal. 

The proposal was made by Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula in a government gazette. 

The proposed regulations have been published for public comment. 

The latest proposal by the Transport Department comes at a time when the department said last August it's experiencing huge backlogs nationally.
