The condition of our roads is also consistently rated among the best in the country, and this is largely due to the provincial government’s commitment to ringfencing MVL revenue to maintain, upgrade, and expand our road network.
“These fees are directly reinvested into the Western Cape’s road infrastructure, helping to build and maintain the roads that connect our communities, support economic activity, and enable daily life.”
MVL fees are primarily used to:
“Build, upgrade, and maintain the provincially-owned road network;
“Assist municipalities in maintaining their more strategic roads;
“Ensure continued safe mobility for all road users, including residents, freight operators, tourists, and public transport passengers.
The draft regulation is available on this link: 2025 Proposed increases to Motor Vehicle Registration and License Fees. Western Cape residents are encouraged to review the draft regulation and submit comments before the closing date of 17 May 2025.
