The Western Cape government has published the draft regulations pertaining to motor vehicle licence fee increases in the province.

The provincial government is proposing an increase of three percent which remains lower than the current inflation rate of three point nine percent.

The closing date for public comment on the possible license increase will be on the 24^th of April 2015.

Department of Transport and Public Works Ministerial Spokesperson Siphesihle Dube said the department had issued mandatory amount of increases for a number of years, between 2006 and 2013 when they were finally increased, this due to pervious increases being very high.

"The figures are now inline mostly with other provinces and they look forward to the revenue that would be generated from these motor licence fees to continue support our roads network and keep them up to standards that is known to be ahead of other provinces" Dube added.
