Gauteng Bans Renewal Of Licences For Zimbabweans With Expired Permits
Zimbabwe Exemption Permit (ZEP) holders are facing one problem after another.
Last year they were told their permits won’t be renewed, but were given a 12-month grace period to change their permit status.
Now the Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport is refusing to renew their vehicle driving licences.
This follows a directive from the department not to renew the driver’s licences and vehicle discs of Zimbabweans with expired permits.
Many expired ZEP holders could lose their jobs if they don’t have an active driver’s licence.
Kelvin Mukono, a scholar transporter, said he has been in his job for more than 10 years and his vehicle disc recently expired.
When he went to the traffic department to renew it, he was told they couldn’t unless he had a valid permit.
On the road, authorities gave him a stern warning they will arrest him if found driving without a valid vehicle disc again.
