More than 400 transport operator licenses in Gauteng are at risk of cancellation after officials confirmed they remain uncollected despite formal notifications. The licenses, issued to minibus taxi and scholar transport operators, will be invalidated if not retrieved by the August deadline, the Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport said.
Officials have issued a final reminder to affected operators to collect their documents promptly. The department warned that failure to do so will result in cancellation and potential disruption to operations. "Many operators have not collected their licences despite being notified," Sowetan Live reported, citing department statements.
The department has not disclosed the exact number of licenses issued or the reasons for non-collection. However, EWN reported on the urgency of the situation, stating that the department is actively urging operators to act before the deadline. "Gauteng transport dept urges taxi operators to collect licenses before August deadline," the outlet said, echoing official warnings.
Uncollected licenses could affect service continuity for commuters and school transport services across the province. The department has not yet indicated whether a grace period will be offered after August. Operators are advised to contact Gauteng transport authorities directly to confirm collection details.
