We have listened to comments made by some of our website visitors that the website template is too "standard" and boring.  On Friday 8 June 2007 the website template was replaced, giving the pages a new look.

We are still using JOOMLA, which is an open source content management system

It is a deliberate choice to use open source software in line with South African Government policy

The website will be upgraded further in the next few weeks and months and we also plan to start with a regular newsletter to our registered users.  Several items will be added to the website giving background and technical information about eNaTIS.

Internet transactions to launch soon 

Internet and ATM (automated teller machine) transactions will be launched in the next few months.  You will always find the most recent updates on this topic on this website.

Please take time to participate in our website polls - your view is important to us.

NAAMSA press release: 

In amplification of the new vehicle sales statistics for the month of May, 2007 - released today by the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (NAAMSA) - the Association commented that the May, 2007 new vehicle sales had improved substantially, in all four sectors compared to the previous month of April, 2007.  On a year on year basis, the trend of the past four months had continued during May, 2007 with the new car market showing further consolidation and new commercial vehicle sales, as expected, gaining further strong growth. An improvement in the functionality of the e-NaTIS new vehicle registration system, towards the end of May, 2007 had also had a positive influence.  In the event, aggregate new vehicle sales at 51 683 units had registered a decline of 891 vehicles or 1,7% compared to the 52 574 new vehicle sales of the corresponding month last year.  

Certain newspapers have created publicity in respect of a network audit conducted by the Auditor General on the NaTIS and might have left the impression that eNaTIS security is full of holes.  This network audit was carried out on the live environment of the old NaTIS system that has subsequently been switched off.  The network audit was conducted almost a year before the eNaTIS went live.  Insofar this audit covers the eNaTIS, it was carried out on the development environment of the eNaTIS. 

No blank passwords are allowed 

The eNaTIS cannot be accessed unless a valid user ID and password combination is provided from an authorised work station.  In addition, all users have to sign a confidentiality agreement prior to being issued with login credentials on the eNaTIS.  Security access is not controlled from the work station side and the security policy and passwords used to gain access to the remote work station is irrelevant in gaining access to eNaTIS.  eNaTIS runs on central architecture and access to the system is controlled centrally by making use amongst others of data encryption, security certificates, firewalls, password control and detailed transaction audit trails on a user level.     

During May 2007 a total of 12,887,111 transactions were performed on the eNaTIS.  Transactions are either performed by users directly connected to the system and performing transactions from menu choices, or from external interfaces such as the manufacturers of vehicles, SAPS etc.

Almost 13 million transactions in May 2007 

A total number of 61,323 learner's licences were issued, 166,790 driving licences were issued, 87,923 vehicles were introduced, 883,764 vehicle licencing transactions were performed and 298,074 motor vehicle registrations were performed. 

The total number of user transactions for May is 8,738,872 and the total number of interface transactions is 4,148,239.  A full graph showing daily figures can be seen by clicking on this link: eNaTIS_Stats_May
