E-tolls: Cloned number plates a challenge

Cape Town - The debate on e-tolls billing challenges and road fatalities should be constructive, according to the parliamentary portfolio committee on transport.

Following an outcry on the e-tolls billing system, the committee had a detailed briefing session this week.

The committee chair Ruth Bhengu said it was crucial that billing challenges were clarified, especially as they related to cloning of number plates.

“This is a challenge, and the committee is looking at best practices on how best to deal with this situation,” she said.

Minister of Transport Dipuo Peters had earlier indicated to the committee that she had instructed the SA National Roads Agency (Sanral) to sort out billing challenges associated with e-tolls and that the Road Traffic Management Corporation administer the e-natis.

Fin24 reported previously about a farmer and his wife from Citrusdal in the Western Cape who were surprised by a Gauteng e-tolls invoice for their tractor after the number plates were cloned.
