Transport minister Sindisiwe Chikunga says the gantries will be used to improve mobility, road safety, and combat crime.
South Africa’s transport minister, Sindisiwe Chikunga , has reiterated that the e-toll gantries on Gauteng highways will remain in place to combat crime and enhance road safety after the e-toll system is shut down.
“It is important to note that while these roads are no longer going to be tolled, the benefits of improved roads remain, and the gantries that have been installed for use in the scheme will continue to be used for other functions, such as fighting crime.” However, she noted that customers with active and current accounts can continue to use their e-tags for payments at toll plazas.Chikunga said plans are in place to use the e-tags for other value-added services, such as parking.
