Following a statement that was issued by the Mogale City Motor Vehicle, Driver Licensing and Registration Division in December 2018, that cash transactions were temporarily discontinued, the division wishes to inform residents that this decision has now been made permanent.
Residents and citizens coming from other parts of Gauteng and beyond who prefer to do their vehicle licensing, registration or related services in Mogale City should take note that Krugersdorp Licensing Centre will henceforth not process any cash transactions. Only credit, cheque, and savings cards, plus bank guaranteed cheques, will be accepted as means of payment.
The decision follows from an unfortunate robbery that occurred in December last year at the Centre. Also, taking into account the spate of robberies across the country where cash operations are in place, the department has opted to permanently transact in a cashless environment.
The municipality is confident that this cashless environment will significantly deter potential criminals while ensuring the safety of the clients as well as the Licensing Services staff.
The department hopes this communiqué will assist in making the public aware of this arrangement so that they come prepared and avoid any disappointment such as being turned away unassisted, especially when they have travelled considerable distances to use the services provided.
