South Africa's big licence disc problem

The Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) is cracking down on motorists, including large trucking companies, using fraudulent vehicle licence discs.

Speaking to SABC News, RTMC CEO Makhosini Msibi said the entity had more than R2.1 billion in fiscal losses relating to fraudulent licence discs.
