Welcome to SANRAL Statutory Control – safeguarding South Africa’s national road network for a safer, more efficient future .

Who Are We
SANRAL (South African National Roads Agency) is an independent parastatal responsible for managing, maintaining, and developing South Africa’s national road network. Operating within SANRAL, SAPOT oversees the statutory control department, ensuring compliance and safety across our roadways.

Statutory Control

Established in May 2020 under the leadership of Mr. Lindelani Tsanwani, with supervision by Mr. Thabo James, the statutory control department manages applications related to land use under SANRAL’s jurisdiction. We focus on developments, access, services, traffic studies, land acquisition, signage, and outdoor advertisement to ensure safety and order.



Our Objective

Our primary goal is to manage land, properties, and roads to minimize chaos and accidents. We work closely with Routine Road Maintenance (RRM) to ensure the SANRAL network is well-equipped, accessible, and safe for all road users.
