An the bills keep rolling in ...

Sir Pierre High School in Kempton Park, east of Johannesburg, gets regular e-toll bills from Sanral but the school refuses to pay because it appears the registration of the school's trailer has been cloned.

Principal Ernst van Biljon said the first bill of R300 was posted to the school in March but the picture of the vehicle captured was that of a Mercedes-Benz. "The registration number is similar to that of the school's trailer. I approached Sanral offices and I had a registration certificate with me. Sanral said I should obtain an affidavit from Kempton Park Police Station," he said.

Repeated attempts to get a comment from Sanral were unsuccessful. Van Biljon was under the impression that, after reporting the incident to Sanral, the matter would be followed up and sorted.

"I have done my duty and it is nothing but a case of inefficiency that they still send the bills."

A panel set up by Gauteng Premier David Makhura is receiving submissions in relation to e-tolls.
