Cape Town residents are reminded that December public holidays will impact the operating hours of the City’s Customer Offices.

The City encourages residents to make use of its convenient online booking and payment options.
‘The City’s Revenue Department offices (payment, account enquiries and motor vehicle registration and licensing) as well as Traffic Services’ driving licence testing centres, Human Settlements’ offices and municipal courts will be closed on various days over the festive season. Residents are encouraged to settle their municipal accounts using one of the online options for an accurate, efficient and secure payment process,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Finance, Councillor Siseko Mbandezi.

Our residents who will be going away are urged to ensure that accounts are up to date,’ said Councillor Mbandezi.
