Gauteng motorists to apply for new number plates from April 1st.

VAAL TRIALGE - Gauteng motorists will start applying for new high-tech number plates from the first of April. The number plates will be tamper-proof, and have a QR code linked to the owner of the vehicle, which can notify authorities when the vehicle crosses the border. Premier Panyaza Lesufi says the new number plate system is intended to clamp down on crime, with vehicles at the centre of many incidents. Motorists who renew their license disc will simultaneously apply for a new number plate.
