Some commenters praised the driver for his hustle and achievement, while others questioned his spelling and grammar skills.
According to the Department of Transport, South African number plates are unique in each province. They are available in plastic or metal and have different sizes and shapes depending on the vehicle type.
The number plates must also comply with specific legal requirements, such as displaying the provincial coat of arms and the province’s name.
