Episode Details

South Africa’s government just greenlit a major shift: driving licenses for cars and motorcycles (codes A, A1, B, EB) will soon be valid for 10 years instead of 5 — a move designed to simplify life for drivers and align with global standards. While the change is approved in principle, it’s not yet law — legislative tweaks are still needed before it takes effect. Until then, expired licenses still require renewal under the old five-year rule. What’s even more surprising? Cabinet went beyond the original plan of eight years, opting for a full decade — a win for drivers who’ve long asked for less frequent renewals. Stay tuned for the official rollout — your next license check could be a decade away.
