SANRAL begins issuing e-toll summonses
21 March 2016
Road users who have persistently refused to settle their e-toll debt may receive civil summonses from SANRAL over the next few days.
The South African National Roads Agency (SOC) Limited announced that the first set of civil summonses to individuals is being delivered by sheriffs in different jurisdictions in Gauteng.
“The summonses will also include higher value summonses of mostly companies. Due to the amount owed in these cases, the summons has to be managed by the High Court,” says Alex van Niekerk, Project Manager for the GFIP.
The decision to issue summonses comes at the end of an extensive period of communications between SANRAL and vehicle owners who neglected to pay outstanding debts – it is a natural conclusion to the process.
