E-toll payment compliance was currently around 15% to 18%, he added. Sanral would also fail to enforce compliance by blocking people from renewing the car licences. “Technically the law is there,” he said. “Practically, they can’t apply it.” Sanral’s previous attempts to use the Criminal Procedures Act and also issuing summonses to defaulters had also failed. “We are saying to government, ‘You have no option but to pull the plug’.” This as the stalemate between the Gauteng government and national government with regards to the payment of e-tolls in the province took a turn for the worse when the SA National Roads Agency (Sanral) announced at the weekend that motorists with outstanding fees will not be allowed to renew their licences.
