By mid-December, the provincial government is set to table a plan to switch off the gantries and pay off the outstanding debt.

Former Gauteng Transport MEC and now Finance MEC Jacob Mamabolo is adamant that e-tolls are obsolete.

However, it still remains unclear when they will be discontinued once and for all.

Some motorists are still getting monthly bills, and the view from many has always been clear e-tolls should be boycotted.
