The South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) has denied sending out any final letters of demand or court summonses to motorists, saying that particular route remains a last resort for the roads agency.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, 6 May, Justice Project South Africa (JPSA) issued a press statement saying that the Sanral Violations Processing Centre (VPC) had started sending out emails stating that \u201cA Final Demand has been issued in regard to your e-toll Violations Processing Centre (VPC) Account\u201d and \u201cA summons has been issued\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not clear at this stage whether the summons referred to in the email is a civil or criminal summons, as neither the Final Demand nor the summons has as yet been received by the company in question,\u201d the JPSA said.<\/p>\n

The JPSA added that for a summons to be issued, a court date would be required so that it may appear on the summons.<\/p>\n

In response to queries about the emails, Sanral spokesperson, Vusi Mona said that the roads agency did not send them.<\/p>\n

“Sanral has neither issued any final letters of demand, nor requested any summons to be issued by the National Prosecuting Authority,” Mona said.<\/p>\n

“We are still following the normal process of following up on outstanding toll fees. The issuing of summons is the last resort. We would much rather have road-users register for their e-toll accounts thereby avoiding the legal route.”<\/p>\n

Sanral noted, however, that it has sent communication to motorists as a final reminder of outstanding payment, but no Final Demand invoices.<\/p>\n
