Pretoria - Transport Minister Dipuo Peters has called on all motorists, particularly those in Gauteng, to use the remaining time to register for electronic tolling which goes live on 3 December.
More than 21 000 people have registered since she announced the starting date of tolling.
Peters said in the midst of anti-tolling campaigns, motorists had gone out in droves to prove that they were law abiding citizens.
Sanral said to date in excess of 735 000 tags had been sold.
Peters said in a statement: “It's in your best interests that you get tagged. This will enable you to gain access to Sanral discounts offered to tag holders.
“We’re aware of campaigns discouraging people from registering and we wish to encourage motorists to not to pay attention to them,” said Peters.

Motorists who drive on the tolled road network without registering would be expected to pay almost double of what registered users would pay.
"For instance, a driver of a light-motor vehicle who's not registered would be expected to pay 59c per kilometre, compared to 30c per kilometre paid by their registered peers. While it's not a legal requirement to register, it's in your best economic interests that you do so," Peters said.
The Department is encouraged by reports of long queues at e-toll outlets and retail partner stores across Gauteng on Sunday.
Peters said: "All you need is R49.95 to obtain your tag. This amount will be credited to your e-toll account once you are registered.”
All the information is available on Sanral’s website.
