The e-tolling of Gauteng's highways will begin on December 3, Transport Minister Dipuo Peters said on Wednesday.
"We thank those who already have e-tags," she told reporters in Pretoria.
Motorists without tags pay double
She said those without tags would pay double the amount, and would not benefit from the discounts.
Peters said systems were in place to ensure that the system functioned, and the SA National Roads Agency Limited (SANRAL) was capable of this responsibility.
Electronic tolling would contribute to the fight against licence plate cloning and reduce congestion, she said.
Debt collection process has started
SANRAL CEO Nazir Alli said a debt collection process had been started, and motorists would receive a bill after seven days. If they ignored repeated reminders to pay, they would get a summons.
