BONUS - RUSTENBURG - South African citizens can sigh with relief following an announcement in the Government Gazette 50418, published 28 March 2024, as to the discontinuation of the e-toll system by the South African National Roads Agency (SANRAL).
 This will come into effect as of 11 April, at midnight, which will be the last day e-toll invoices will be processed as per the standard process. SANRAL account holders will no longer be billed for e-toll fees/transactions that occur after this date and time, whilst passing under the e-toll gantries. No action is required from the public, as all processes are automatically updated. All SANRAL account and tags will remain valid and can be utilised as a toll payment method at conventional toll plazas countrywide and for parking payments - if you have opted in for this service.

BONUS - RUSTENBURG - The 2024 SA Rally-Raid Championship might have kicked off somewhat later than usual with the first round of the season, the #TeamHiluxRally-Raid Nkomazi taking place on 19 and 20 April in the Malalane area in Mpumalanga, but it will all be worth the wait. 
With South African competitors and vehicle manufacturers playing major roles in the rally-raid scene globally and the World Rally-Raid Championship, which started with the Dakar Rally in January in Saudi-Arabia, various competitors have been competing elsewhere, but locally the action will be tangible from the opening round until the end of the seventh round in November. Like last year, the #TeamHiluxRally-Raid Nkomazi will be the opening event on the calendar and it will also be the first race where a few changes to the SARRC will be put in place for the first time.

BONUS - RUSTENBURG - South Africans will spend between R1.02 and R2.18 per kilometre driving to their holiday destination this Easter weekend, depending on the type of vehicle they drive, a recent analysis has revealed. 
It was calculated what it would cost to travel along some of the country’s most popular holiday routes using this month’s fuel pricing and South Africa’s updated toll fees.
For the calculation a combination of inland and coastal unleaded 95 and 50 ppm diesel prices were used to calculate fuel costs.
