Mbalula, Finance Minister Tito Mboweni and Gauteng Premier David Makhura were mandated by President Cyril Ramaphosa to come up with the solution to e-tolls.

The directive followed a public spat between Makhura and Mboweni over the unpopular user-pay system.

Mbalula says all various stakeholders have been duly consulted and their opinions have been considered.

"Minister Mblula has engaged quite broadly with his counterpart in the Finance Department, the Gauteng Provincial Department as well stakeholders from business, labour and interest groups and he is quite satisfied that all stakeholders have been duly consulted and their options have been considered,” says his spokesperson Ayanda Allie-Paine.

"The decision will be made public at the end of October."
