According to reports, the South African National Roads Agency SOC Ltd (Sanral) is expected to begin a phased roll-out and testing of tap-to-pay terminals at its 30 self-managed toll plazas in October or November, with full implementation planned by the end of the year.

Tap-to-pay was already available at most toll plazas operated by private companies like N3TC and N4TRAC, covering routes such as the N3 between Johannesburg and Durban and the N4 between Pretoria and Komatipoort.
