More than 400 operating licences issued to public transport operators in Gauteng could be cancelled if they are not collected by next month, the provincial department of roads and transport has warned.
The department said many operators, especially those in the minibus taxi and scholar transport sectors, have not collected their licences despite being notified. It has urged those who received SMS notifications or messages through their associations to collect them by August 14 or risk losing them.
If operators fail to collect their licences before the deadline, the department said the licences could be cancelled and operators would have to begin the application process again under the relevant legislation.
