The Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) has with immediate effect lifted the suspension on Likili Motorways Road Service License in accordance with the provision of Section 110B (6) of the Road Traffic Amendment Act No. 8 of 2022.
RTSA Acting Head-Public Relations Mukela Mangolwa says this follows the operator meeting the conditions that were set out by the Agency among which was Likili bus drivers passing the competence test they were subjected to for Public Service Vehicles (PSV) defensive driving.
In a letter dated 11th September, 2023, RTSA Director and Chief Executive Officer elaborated that the operator has met the minimum threshold or score under the fleet management policy to resume operations.

The Agency states that it will continue to monitor the Transporter’s commitment to the key focus areas of their Fleet Management Policy which they have currently put in place.
