The Department of Transport is proposing a significant change that every South African driver needs to know about. Under the proposed amendments, driver’s licences, learner’s licences and Traffic Register Number certificates would no longer be accepted as general identification documents, following an investigation that uncovered widespread abuse of traffic registration documents.

Your driver’s licence is not being cancelled and will remain valid for driving. However, its use as general proof of identity at banks, airports, offices and residential estates could be restricted, meaning South Africans would need to rely on official Home Affairs identification such as the Smart ID Card or green barcoded ID book. Foreign nationals would generally need a valid passport and the relevant permit.

The changes are not yet law. Draft amendments are expected to be published in the Government Gazette for public comment, with 30 days allowed for submissions. Meanwhile, 300,000 inactive Traffic Register Numbers have already been blocked, with remaining holders asked to verify their details with Home Affairs.

Collen Msibi, spokesperson for the Department of Transport, joins the show to explain what is being proposed, why it is necessary and what South Africans need to do to prepare.

Thabang Matomela, founder of Ntsitsi’s Fun Food, joins the show to share the story of a proudly South African fast-food business that has been serving Soweto’s most authentic kasi cuisine for over 20 years. From a family-owned outlet to an established local brand with two branches in Diepkloof and Pimville, a strong presence on Uber Eats and approximately R250,000 in monthly revenue, Ntsitsi’s Fun Food has built a loyal following on the strength of its signature kotas, ribs and wings, dagwoods and wraps that taste exactly the way kasi food should.

With plans to expand through a mobile food trailer, corporate and private catering, additional Gauteng outlets and future franchising opportunities, Thabang is taking a 20-year legacy and building it into something even bigger, while staying true to the authentic taste that made Ntsitsi’s Fun Food a Soweto institution.
