The Department of Transport Management and Public Safety says motorists, whose vehicle licenses have expired during lockdown, will be given a grace period for renewal. It is very important to take note that all vehicle licenses that expired before the lockdown are punishable by fines.

The Director for Transport Administration and Licensing, Suebel Mmono made the announcement earlier this week, explainng that this arrangement includes expired license discs, as well as driver’s licenses (but only those that expired during lockdown).
