More than 330 000 additional e-tags have been taken up by road users in Gauteng since the launch of e-tolling in the province on December 3, adding to the 660 000 bought prior to implementation and bringing the total number of tags bought to 963 420, the South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) said in a statement on Wednesday.

Sanral head of communications Vusi Mona said that on December 11, the official number of e-tags taken up was 890 388, meaning that a further 73 032 e-tags had been acquired in the last three weeks.

“We thank those Gauteng motorists and businesses that are complying in spite of voices seeking to discourage them,” he said, adding that the increase in the uptake of e-tags was an indication that motorists were prepared to cooperate with Sanral.
