There has been a "clear decision" that motorists who have been paying e-tolls must receive some form of refund, Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi said on 702's John Perlman Show on Wednesday.

He indicated that such refunds would amount to close to R6.9 billion.

The e-toll system was due to be scrapped on 31 December 2022, but has been delayed as the formal process, including finalising key componants of the memorandum of understanding between national and provincial government, must still be finalised. 

A decision still has to be taken on what form such refunds will take - for example, in cash or as credit for future use of other toll roads, according to Lesufi.
