Court documents reveal why SA has a 5-year driving licence card renewal period.

Civil rights organisation AfriForum says that the apparent reason for the five-year driving licence card renewal period in South Africa is due to the quality of the material of the card, which would not last more than that period, citing court documents filed by transport minister, Fikile Mbalula.
Further reasons to motivate the renewal period are scant, it said.
AfriForum, the Automobile Association (AA), and the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) have taken legal action against the five-year renewal period with Afriform arguing that there is insufficient legislation to enforce this requirement. It also comes after years of backlogs and administration failures by the government.
