This includes historic debt and summonses applied for from 2015, the agency said in a brief statement on Wednesday. The board passed the urgent resolution during a meeting held on Tuesday. In its statement on Tuesday, Sanral said the board resolved that given the initiative led by President Cyril Ramaphosa to address the e-tolls payment impasse, it will, with immediate effect, suspend the process of pursuing e-toll debt.

Late in 2018, transport minister Blade Nzimande insisted in the National Assembly that the government had not made a decision to do away with e-tolls in Gauteng. This was after Gauteng premier David Makhura had said that e-tolls needed to be scrapped, and that they had no future in the province as long as the ANC was in charge.
