Gauteng govt delays the scrapping of e-tolls
Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi says the deactivation of the e-tolls billing system will be finalised soon.
The e-toll system was meant to be scrapped on 31 December 2022, but the Gauteng government says this has been delayed into the new year.
In a statement, Provincial spokesperson Vuyo Mhaga said the memorandum of understanding between the national government and the provincial government will be finalised in the new year.
“Premier Panyaza Lesufi wishes to assure Gauteng residents that there is no turning back on doing away with e-tolls,” he says.
“The Premier is thrilled by the progress made thus far by the technical team that has been assigned with deactivating the e-tolls billing system.”
He says the notice to switch off the e-tolls will be gazetted, with the switch-off taking place 14 days after the release of the gazette.
“The gazette will be released in early 2023, as agreed by the national Department of Transport,” says Mhaga.
