President Cyril Ramaphosa signed the controversial bill, which includes a licence demerit system for drivers, into law on August 13 after the National Assembly passed it in March.
He said the organisation held a workshop to consult the industry on the bill, made submissions to parliament based on this and, after the bill was passed earlier this year, wrote twice to the president asking him not to sign it. The final version of the law does not take into consideration Outa’s concerns. Pilot projects in Tshwane and Johannesburg using this system over the past decade failed.
