Transport operators with unpaid Gauteng e-toll debt are set to have their historical liabilities cleared, but fleets that paid their accounts will not be refunded.
Cabinet has approved the write-off of almost R29 billion in outstanding Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project GFIP debt, clearing the way for the South African National Roads Agency Sanral to close out historical e-toll debt and resolve outstanding litigation matters.
The decision, confirmed by the National Department of Transport, also means road users who paid toll fees will not receive refunds because, it says, the system was lawful at the time.
