For years, South Africans have been told AARTO is on its way. Yet uncertainty around its implementation continues.
Road safety should always come first, but so should fairness, transparency and due process. Motorists deserve a system that's ready, practical and protects their rights.
Here's where things stand.

Accountability is more than good governance. It's a human right.
When Parliament exercises effective oversight, it protects taxpayers, strengthens public institutions and helps safeguard the rights of every South African.
This #InternationalDayOfParliamentarism, OUTA is calling for stronger oversight, greater transparency and real accountability.

UPDATE: Government has today proclaimed the next phase of #AARTO, less than 2 days before it is due to take effect.
Our initial review has already raised serious concerns, including the absence of supporting regulations.

OUTA’s legal team is studying today’s proclamations in detail. We’ll provide a comprehensive update on what this means for motorists, municipalities and businesses tomorrow.
Watch this space.

The 30 June protests highlight a deeper issue. South Africa's immigration challenges are the result of years of weak governance, poor border management and failed accountability.
