The South African National Road Agency Limited has distanced itself from allegations that Johannesburg Metro police officers were threatening motorists with fines for not having e-tags.

Sanral Spokesperson Vusi Mona said they have received complaints from people who are being pulled over, allegedly by the Johannesburg metro police, for entering the highway without e-tags threatening a R500 fine.

Mona said Sanral does not have an initiative of this nature and motorists should report these incidents.

Mona added that motorists that have been pulled over should demand to see the tag for those Metro police because this could be a bogus scam.
