Motorists can now recharge their e-tags and use them at boom down toll plazas without the credit in their e-tags being used to pay off their historic Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP) e-toll debt.
This was confirmed this week by South African National Roads Agency (Sanral) GM for communications and marketing Vusi Mona in response to a Moneyweb query after the roads agency urged motorists to use their e-tags at boom down toll plazas across the country because this remains the smartest payment method for road users.
Mona said the government has yet to finalise the decision on the historic e-tolls debt of road users, and as such, this debt has been ring-fenced.
Sanral is not in a position to comment on any debt-related matter at this time.
The e-tags were de-linked from Open Road Tolling at midnight on 12 April 2024.
