Toll fees to take a toll on your wallet
The South African National Roads Agency (SANRAL) recently announced that a hike on toll fees would kick in from 1 March 2025.
According to BusinessTech, the tariffs will increase by 4.84%, a little less than last year’s 6.25% hike.
Vusi Mona, SANRAL’s General Manager for Communications and Marketing, revealed that toll fees are necessary to maintain, operate and improve toll roads.
“The funds go a long way towards ensuring that SANRAL fulfils its mandate of delivering quality road infrastructure that adds value to the lives of South African citizens,” Mona said as per BusinessTech.
“SANRAL is empathetic to the South African public, considering the current state of the economy. However, it is equally important to introduce the adjustments to ensure that the agency continues to deliver safe and quality roads to the benefit of all road users,” Mona added.
