Organisation calls on Sanral to publish a gazette to end the declaration of the Gauteng freeway network as tolled roads

Sanral must publish a gazette amending the initial declarations of the Gauteng freeway network as tolled roads to officially scrap the e-till system, Outa says. Picture: SIMON MATHEBULA

Duvenage was responding to Lesufi’s state of the province address on Monday in which he said that “e-tolls have been scrapped permanently in our province.” Finance minister Enoch Godongwana effectively ended the e-toll system in the October 2022 medium-term budget policy statement when he said the government would assume 70% of the SA National Roads Agency’s debt and that the Gauteng government would cover the remaining 30%.

The organisation said there are still businesses and individuals who continue to pay their e-toll bills because they continue to receive invoices. Some businesses have continued to pay until a final decision to turn off the scheme’s billing system has been announced. Until that happens, theses businesses remain uncompetitive and subjected to unnecessary expenses, it added.
