🚦 AARTO ROLLOUT – WHAT EVERY CAPE TOWN DRIVER MUST DO BEFORE 1 DECEMBER!
The new AARTO system starts 1 December 2025 — big changes are coming for all drivers and vehicle owners.
⚠️ Beware of fake “ghost fines” and scam messages!
✅ STEP 1: Check Your Fines NOW
🔹 Visit your municipality’s website or Paythatcity.co.za
🔹 Or contact Michael – 072 207 0631
🔹 Check all vehicles in your name (even old ones)
💸 STEP 2: Pay Fines Before 1 Dec
🔹 Pay before 1 Dec to still get 50% discount
🔹 After 1 Dec → full amount + demerit points
🔹 Example: R500 fine could become R1,000
⚠️ STEP 3: Verify Every Fine
🚫 Don’t fall for fake SMS or emails
✅ Only pay via official city sites or trusted platforms.
🏢 When unsure, confirm at your local traffic department
