Cabinet has decided to appeal the court decision granting an interdict against e-tolling on Gauteng’s main freeways.

“Cabinet has taken a decision to appeal the interim order to stop the e-tolling. Furthermore, government only received the written judgment late yesterday. Our lawyers are studying this judgment and will advise the executive in due course,” Cabinet spokesperson Jimmy Manyi announced on Thursday.

The North Gauteng High Court granted an urgent interdict against e-tolling last month, placing the project on hold until a full review can take place. The system would have kicked off on 30 April
