The toll tariff change will take effect on March 1, 2025, according to a statement released by the South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL).
Every year, the tariffs are modified in accordance with Statistics South Africa’s (Stats SA) Consumer Price Index (CPI).
As of 2024, South Africa has 59 national road toll gates. Some of the major toll routes in South Africa include the N3 between Gauteng and Durban, the N4 between Pretoria and Maputo, and sections of the N1. These routes likely contribute significantly to overall toll revenue.
The Government Gazette announced in February 7, 2025, that the annual toll charges will rise by 4.84%. This rate is lower than the 6.25% adjustment from the previous year.
Toll money is required to maintain, manage, and upgrade toll roads as well as to pay off debt committed to carry out a toll road project, according to Vusi Mona, General Manager for Communications and Marketing at SANRAL.
“The funds go a long way towards ensuring that SANRAL fulfils its mandate of delivering quality road infrastructure that adds value to the lives of South African citizens,
“This road network therefore 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,” said Vusi Mona, General Manager for Communications and Marketing at SANRAL.
