Story 2
South African motorists will soon only need to renew their driving licences every 10 years instead of every five.
Transport Minister Barbara Creecy says Cabinet has approved extending the validity of Code A, A1, B and EB driving licences to reduce pressure on licensing centres, improve service delivery and help tackle corruption in the renewal process.
The new validity period will come into effect once the necessary amendments to the National Road Traffic Regulations have been finalised.
She says government has heard the concerns raised by members of the public about the current system.
