Gauteng’s e-toll system is shutting down on 11 April 2024. Here is what will happen to outstanding historical debt and motorists who had previously paid for using the system.
The South African National Roads Agency will not scrap outstanding debts for e-tolls in Gauteng after the system’s shutdown, but there will seemingly be no effort to collect the debts or serious consequences for failing to pay them.during a joint press briefing by Sanral, the national Department of Transport, and Gauteng Provincial Government on Wednesday, 10 April 2024.
That came after the GPG announced a plan to start shutting down e-tolls during Treasury MEC Jacob Mamabolo’s budget speech in February 2024. During the press briefing, transport minister Sindisiwe Chikunga said that a memorandum of agreement had been signed between the national government, GPG, and Sanral on future sustainable funding of the roads that will no longer be financed with e-tolls.
“As the implementing authority and in terms of Treasury Regulations, Sanral has an obligation to take effective and appropriate steps to collect all money due to it. Until advised otherwise, this remains the Sanral position.”
