Independent Online (IOL) reports on the announcement by the South African National Roads Agency (SANRAL) that toll rates nationwide will increase by 4.84 percent, effective March 1, 2025. The country’s toll rates are adjusted annually according to changes in the government’s Consumer Price Index. Tolls rose by 6.25 percent in 2024.
A SANRAL representative said officials are “empathetic to the South African public, considering the current state of the economy. However, it is equally important to introduce the adjustments to ensure that the agency continues to deliver safe and quality roads to the benefit of all road users.”
