Appointment of French company to print new driving licence cards is suspicious – AfriForumAfriForum has submitted two applications to the Department of Transport under the Promotion of Access to Information Act to obtain critical information regarding the procurement process for the new smart driving licence cards.
“The new licence card will incorporate new security features to eliminate the ever-increasing risks of fraudulent and counterfeit driving licences. Considering the cost drivers of producing the driving licence and the risk of fraud and corruption, the new driving licence will continue to be manufactured centrally.,” he explained.
“A contract between IDEMIA and the Congolese government, worth $1,2 billion, was also suspended in the past month due to so-called ‘flagrant overpricing’. It is also simply suspicious that the tender process for the printing of South Africa’s driver’s licence cards has been postponed several times without any reasons or details being provided.”
The Automobile Association has expressed concerns over the appointment of French tech firm IDEMIA to produce smart driving licence cards. The Department of Transport remains optimistic that the new service provider will enhance the security features of these cards.
