The South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral<\/a>) says it may take between two and three months before it hands\u00a0over e-toll bills for prosecution.<\/p>\n

This is according to Eye Witness News who reported that no bills had been handed over to prosecuting authorities since the controversial tolling system had been put into place on 3 December.<\/p>\n

It follows scores of\u00a0complaints by\u00a0South Africans, using social platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to voice their concern about incorrect e-toll bills which were sent to them via e-mail and SMS.<\/p>\n

Many users reported that they received very high bills when they only used the toll roads once or twice. Others reported that they received e-toll bills without ever using Gauteng\u2019s roads.<\/p>\n

Last week Beeld reported that a man who has been dead since October 2012 received an SMS warning that he had overdue e-toll fees of R612.21.<\/p>\n

Sanral spokesperson Vusi Mona<\/a> told Eye Witness News that ‘all legitimate errors’ would be\u00a0amended.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe system only started in December. Now, we have about 60 to 80 days before we get to that stage,” Mona said of potential court\u00a0court procedures for non-payment.<\/p>\n
