\n\t\tShe warned young motorists not to buy licences illegally, stressing that arrests would lead to criminal records.\n\t<\/p>\n

Gauteng MEC for Roads and Transport Kedibone Diale\u2011Tlabela has vowed that corruption and fraudulent licence applications will be stamped out at the province\u2019s newest Smart Driver Licence Testing Centre.<\/p>\n

The new centre was launched at Gautrain Sandton Station on Wednesday, 30 July 2026.<\/p>\n

\u2018No bribes\u2019<\/p>\n

Speaking at the launch, Diale\u2011Tlabela said the new centre provides a cashless service.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a cashless service. This is where you can\u2019t bribe. We are depending highly on technology here, including the security around. People will not be able to do fraudulent licence applications,\u201d Diale\u2011Tlabela said.<\/p>\n

She warned young motorists not to buy licences illegally, stressing that arrests would lead to criminal records that could block future job opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease don\u2019t buy, don\u2019t bribe, do it the right way,\u201d she cautioned.<\/p>\n

Warning<\/p>\n

The MEC issued a strong warning against fraud, urging residents not to create a conducive environment for corrupt practices.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are doing it the wrong way, you will be arrested. Being arrested is having a criminal record against your name, and that risks you being able to participate in the economy. Because when you get a job, they do check your criminal record,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

No more long queues?<\/p>\n

Beyond tackling corruption, the new facility promises to ease the pain of long queues that have plagued licensing centres across Gauteng.<\/p>\n

Strategically located at Gautrain Sandton Station, the state\u2011of\u2011the\u2011art Smart DLTC is designed to cut waiting times, streamline services and deliver greater convenience to motorists in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

The centre offers a full range of licensing services, including renewals, duplicates, PrDP applications, vehicle registration, licence disc renewals and AARTO infringement payments.<\/p>\n

Operating hours<\/p>\n

Operating on weekdays and Saturdays, it becomes the seventh Smart DLTC in Gauteng, joining facilities at malls and Gautrain stations across the province.<\/p>\n

The model incorporates advanced digital enrolment and cashless payment systems, enabling licence renewals in about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

Services<\/p>\n

Services are strictly appointment\u2011based, eliminating intermediaries and promoting transparent, corruption\u2011free delivery. Law enforcement officials are deployed at the centres to uphold integrity and ensure compliance with licensing<\/a> regulations.<\/p>\n

Diale\u2011Tlabela said the Sandton Smart DLTC reflects the government\u2019s commitment to building a modern, efficient and responsive public service.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are handing over this facility to the people of Gauteng for your benefit and convenience. We encourage you to make full use of the services available here,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Diale\u2011Tlabela said the facility is part of her department\u2019s commitment to growing Gauteng into a province that \u201cdelivers modern, efficient and accessible government services to all its residents.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"She warned young motorists not to buy licences illegally, stressing that arrests would lead to criminal records.
