The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (Sanral) has announced that the annual toll tariffs will increase by 4.84% effective from March 1, 2025.
The new toll tariffs are adjusted annually in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as obtained from Stats SA and were published in the Government Gazette on February 7, 2025
This year's toll tariff hike is lower than last year's 6.25% increase.
According to Vusi Mona, General Manager for Communications and Marketing, Sanral, toll revenue is necessary to maintain, operate, and improve toll roads. It is also used to service debt incurred to implement a toll road project.
Mona said that key economic infrastructure, like the national road network, is a precondition for providing basic services including electricity, water, sanitation, telecommunications, and public transport, and this road network needs to meet industrial, commercial, and household needs.
"Sanral is 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," Mona said.
