“We have received complaints from people who are being pulled over, allegedly by the Johannesburg Metro Police, for entering the highway without E-tags, threatening a R500 fine.

“We suspect this is a bogus operation and reassure the E-tolled road users that it’s not a Sanral initiative or that of our service provider,” says Mona.

He urges road users to come forward and report the incidents and to make note of date and time so that incidents can, where possible, be investigated on Sanral cameras.

Reported areas where the incidents took place include Rivonia, Kempton Park and Benoni onramps to the highway.

“This is not acceptable. We would like people to phone our tip off number, 0800 204 558, to report any such incidents,” adds Mona.
