Judge Bill Prinsloo has ruled in the High Court in Pretoria that the e-toll project in Gauteng must be put on hold with immediate effect.
He interdicted and restrained the SA National Roads Agency from levying and collecting toll fees.
Prinsloo granted an urgent interdict, brought by the Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance, to stop the launch of the system, so that a full court review could be carried out to decide if it should be scrapped or not.
Prinsloo said that while he realised Sanral would suffer huge financial losses, members of the public would also suffer hardship if the controversial project went ahead.
