Cape Town - The case of the "e-tolling" Western Cape tractor has been resolved, according to the SA National Roads Agency (Sanral).
A farmer and his wife from Citrusdal in the Western Cape were very surprised when they received a Gauteng e-tolls invoice of R43.50 for their tractor.
Inva van Wyk told Fin24 the last time she and her husband Johnnie had been in Gauteng was 40 years ago.
Yet they got a Gauteng e-tolls invoice for CAR 10944, the registration number of their tractor, which was safely lockup up in the shed.
The photo attached to the invoice showed a white panel van with the same registration number passing through an e-toll gantry in Gauteng on December 19 at 23:00.
Sanral has now told Fin24 that the matter has been resolved.
An investigation by Sanral determined that the car passing through the gantry had the registration number CAR 10844 and not CAR 10944 (the tractor's).
"The Invoice has been written off as it was an error from our side," Sanral told Fin24 on Tuesday.
