Minister of Transport Fikile Mbalula says a solution to e-tolls will be announced in October, this time for sure.

Mbalula has been promising an announcement on e-tolls since he took office in May 2019, with several deadlines having come and gone.

Speaking at a press briefing in Pretoria on Thursday morning, he said the decision would be made by the medium-term budget policy statement in October.Mbalula says a decision had been taken by the cabinet a while ago which would have impacted the fuel levy. Among the suggestions tabled to pay for e-tolls in the past, has been an increase to the fuel levy in Gauteng.The government introduced e-tolls in 2013 to pay for the upgrade of 187km freeways in Gauteng.

The system makes use of electronic scanners to register vehicles’ number plates and sends drivers a bill for the distance travelled on the upgraded roads.
