Gauteng Launches Numberplate Revamp

The Gauteng government plans to introduce its new number plate system in December, the month it expects to run out of numbers to allocate, Transport MEC Bheki Nkosi said.

However, the “intelligence” components which would feature a chip containing information on the vehicle owner was on hold pending further consultations.

The new aluminium plate would cost around R350 for a set and would be allocated during new vehicle registrations in the province.

He said the provincial government would also begin a roll call for old number plates to be replaced.
