Sanral suspends e-toll debt collection
National roads agency Sanral announced on Wednesday that it will drop the process of pursuing the e-toll debt.
In a statement, the road agency says historical debt and summonses stretching back to 2015 will no longer be pursued.
The decision follows an initiative led by President Cyril Ramaphosa to try and resolve the issue.

"It resolved 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 e-toll debt.
“This includes historic debt and summonses applied for from 2015. No new summonses will be applied for.
“This decision will be constantly monitored by the board and reviewed according to prevailing circumstances.”
The Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) - which collects e-toll fees - recently applied to the courts for about 1,400 default judgments against road users who failed to pay their fees.
