Johannesburg - Gauteng vehicle owners will have to replace their licence plates from the beginning of next year.

That's according to Ignatius Jacobs, Gauteng MEC for Public Transport, Roads and Works. He was delivering his budget of R6.4bn for the 2007-08 financial year in the provincial legislature in Johannesburg on Tuesday.

Jacobs said all vehicle owners would have to replace their licence plates from January 1, 2008.

Gauteng's vehicle owners could be forking out millions.

It's not yet clear if this also means a change in the licence numbers.

Jacobs told Beeld outside the legislature that the province was fast running out of permutations of numbers, and would either have to add new numbers or introduce a new numbering system.

Improved security features

He did not want to elaborate on the new number plates, save to say they would include improved security features

Shouldn't the new plates rather be phased in - new vehicles/registrations - new plates
 
sorry didn't see this has already been posted - mods please delete
 
Phasing in would make a lot more sense to me, the only justification I can see for a total changeover is if the process is going to be stricter this time around to prevent fake plates being produced etc.
 
Nope

They can't catch the people who has outstanding fines.

Now you need to have your plates replaced which means they will refuse to change your plates till you fines are paid up. It will make it rather obvious if your driving with an old plate and everyone else has new 1's

Didn't think of that, would only work if they controlled who got new plates though, not like now where you just pay and get any plate you want. Makes sense but I don't see why the rest of us should suffer because they can't enforce the law properly.
