Gauteng to pay more for vehicle licensing
JOBURG – Come 1 April, car licences could cost R204 or more depending on the vehicle's weight.
This year, South Africans will receive a tax hike, fuel levy increase and in March, a car licensing fee hike.
Motorists will have to cough up more money when licensing their vehicles. The price hike is expected to come into effect on 1 April.
