E-tolls just around the corner

Transport Minister Dipuo Peters confirmed at the SABC/New Age business briefing on Monday that this week would see the start of the process of publicising the tariff structure.

It would then be open for public comment for a 30-day period. “After the 30-day period, I think it will take us about seven to 14 days to get the ball rolling. Yes, I will say that the Gauteng e-tolling system will be operational,” she said.

“We’ve also created alternative routes to ensure that those who are unable to get to the freeway, or those who don’t want to use or pay on the freeway, they can use those alternative routes.”
