EZIMNANDI KUBASHAYELI
Ezimnandi kubashayeli bezimoto kuleli, kulandela isinqumo seKhabhinethi sokugunyaza ukuba izincwadi zokushayela (izilayisense) zithathe iminyaka eyishumi ngaphambi kokuba ziphelelwe yisikhathi, esikhundleni seminyaka emihlanu elandelwayo njengamanje.
Lokhu kumenyezelwe ngokusemthethweni uNgqongqoshe eHhovisi likaMengameli, uNkk Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, ngesikhathi ebika ngezidingo nomphumela womhlangano weKhabhinethi. UNtshavheni ucacise ukuthi lolu shintsho luzothinta kuphela izimoto ezilula, okungukuthi izincwadi zokushayela zamakhodi afana no-A, A1, B no-EB.
"IKhabhinethi ikwamukele ukwengezwa kwesikhathi sezincwadi zokushayela ukuze kuhambisane nemigomo yamazwe omhlaba. Lokhu kuzosiza kakhulu nasekunqandeni imigqa emide nengcindezi emikhungweni yokuhlolwa kwezimoto (DLTCs)," kusho uNtshavheni.
Izimoto ezithwala impahla ezisindayo (commercial vehicles) nezokuthutha umphakathi (public transport) zizogcina imithetho yazo yakudala yeminyaka emibili noma emihlanu, kanti nama-Professional Driving Permits (PrDP) azohlala eminyakeni emibili. UNgqongqoshe uveze ukuthi lolu shintsho aluqali phansi ngokushesha namuhla. Wathi kusamele kulungiswe kanti kuchitshiyelwe nemithetho ePhalamende (legislative amendments) ngaphambi kokuba kuqalwe ngokusemthethweni.
UNtshavheni unxuse bonke abashayeli bezimoto ukuba baqhubeke nokuvuselela izilayisense zabo ezikhishwe ngaphansi komthetho weminyaka emihlanu kuze kube zingalwa ngaphansi komthetho omusha.
Lo mthetho wamukelwe ngezandla ezimhlophe yizinhlangano ezilwela amalungelo abakhokhi bentela njenge-OUTA, ebezilokhu zilwela ushintsho kusukela ngonyaka ka-2020.
