Gauteng Roads and Transport MEC Kedibone Diale-Tlabela urges families of deceased public transport operators to apply for operating licence transfers to ensure the licences remain legally valid. The call focuses on transferring the operating permissions to the appropriate beneficiaries or parties so that continued transport operations and related activities comply with applicable requirements.
The MEC’s message is directed at families who hold or are connected to operating licences of late transport operators. Diale-Tlabela emphasizes that completing the transfer process helps protect the rights of affected parties and supports regulatory compliance.
The Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport also advises families to use its support services during the process. A departmental help desk is described as offering guidance to applicants, aimed at assisting them through the steps required to obtain valid licence transfers.
Overall, the announcement highlights an administrative process that families are encouraged to follow after an operator’s death, with government support available to help manage the application requirements.
