Sanral\u2019s only justification was that the adjustments were published in the Government Gazette on 16 February.<\/p>\n<p>The e-toll tariff hikes are around 6% across the board, in line with inflation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSanral has again missed an opportunity to engage meaningfully with the public on this topic. We warned last year that Sanral must try and win support from the public, but it seems its attitude to motorists remains arrogant and uncaring,&#8221;\u00a0the AA noted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will not be surprised if, given this attitude, and the prevailing economic situation in South Africa, more motorists decide not to pay their tolls.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sanral would do well to remember it is a service provider to their customers, the motorists of South Africa, and yet its attitude conveys the opposite message.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The new toll fees can be see in the tables below.<\/p>\n<h3
