New License Plates for Gauteng Government Vehicles: A Six-Month Pilot Program Begins

Gauteng Government Unveils New License Plates in Six-Month Pilot Program JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA – The Gauteng provincial government launched a six-month pilot program on June 5, 2025, introducing new license plates for its fleet of vehicles. The initiative, witnessed by several government officials, aims to improve vehicle identification and management within the province. A short video circulating on social media shows the unveiling of the new plates on a vehicle. "This pilot program is a crucial step towards modernizing our fleet management system," said a government spokesperson. "The new plates will enhance security and accountability." The six-month trial will assess the effectiveness of the new plates before a province-wide rollout. The government expects the new system to improve tracking and reduce vehicle-related crime. The successful implementation of this pilot program will likely set a precedent for other provinces in South Africa to adopt similar measures for better fleet management and enhanced security.
