The Road Fund – Press Release

Maintaining a smooth journey
The Road Fund and Revenue Services Lesotho wish to inform the public, road users, transport operators
and all stakeholders that effective 01 July 2026, the responsibility for the collection and administration of
toll gate fees in Lesotho will be transferred from Revenue Services Lesotho to the Road Fund.
The transfer is being undertaken in accordance with the legislative and policy framework governing road user
charges in Lesotho, under which the Road Fund is mandated to mobilise, manage and account for revenues
dedicated to road maintenance and development.
The transfer will create a more streamlined and efficient experience for road users by consolidating the
collection, administration and customer service functions relating to toll gate fees under a single organisation.
This will provide stakeholders with a central point of engagement on toll-related matters and improve
administrative coordination within the road financing system.
Revenue Services Lesotho has successfully administered the collection of toll gate fees for over fifteen years
from 2011 and has worked closely with the Road Fund to ensure a smooth and orderly transition of this function.
Both organisations are committed to maintaining service continuity and ensuring that road users experience
minimal disruption during the handover process.
The Road Fund will assume full responsibility for:
a) Collection of toll gate fees at all designated border facilities;
b) Administration and management of toll revenue;
c) Customer service related to toll gate fees payments;
d) Reporting and accountability for toll revenue utilisation in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Both organisations are working closely to ensure that all operational, technological and administrative
arrangements are completed ahead of the effective date. The transition has been carefully planned to safeguard
service delivery and maintain operational continuity at all toll points.
Existing toll fee structures will remain in effect unless otherwise communicated through official channels.
The Road Fund and Revenue Services Lesotho remain committed to working collaboratively in support of
Government’s broader objectives of strengthening public financial management, enhancing service delivery
and ensuring sustainable financing of road infrastructure for the benefit of all Basotho.
Further information regarding operational arrangements and any future changes will be communicated
through official announcements by the Road Fund.
