South African National Roads Agency suspends processes for pursuing e-toll debt

Sanral spokesperson Vusi Mona said in a statement that given the initiative led by President Cyril Ramaphosa to address the e-tolls payment impasse, Sanral will, with immediate effect, suspend the process of pursuing the e-toll debt.

The board of the South African National Roads Agency (Sanral) will constantly monitor the decision to suspend the collection of e-toll debt and review it according to prevailing circumstances.

The board on Tuesday passed an urgent resolution to suspend the process of pursuing debt linked to e-tolls.

Sanral spokesperson Vusi Mona said in a statement that given the initiative led by President Cyril Ramaphosa to address the e-tolls payment impasse, Sanral will, with immediate effect, suspend the process of pursuing the e-toll debt.

"This includes historic debt and summonses applied for from 2015. No new summonses will be applied for," Mona said.
