New Gauteng licence plate warning

The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) has warned the Gauteng government not to make its planned new vehicle number plates more expensive or difficult to register, or it could risk losing lots of revenue from fleet operators.

Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi first announced the plan to introduce new "tamper-proof" vehicle licence plates in South Africa's economic hub in 2022. The original launch date was supposed to be 1 April 2024.

I don't see how these new plates will solve the cloned plate problem. Most number plates are read from a distance making QR codes, RFID chips, etc useless unless you're physically close to the plate.

I'm willing to bet substantial money that the premier, or the premier's wife, son, daughter, cousin, mother-in-law, 3rd cousin twice removed, or a cronie, buddy, mate or gabba, has a factory, or a stake in a factory, supplying official materials to make these plates, therefore the "oh-it's-for-your-own-benefit!" push to make this happen! Follow the money!
