You won’t believe how government celebrated the end of eTolls
Government officials celebrated the end of eTolls as if it was New Year’s eve on Thursday, with a countdown clock and everything.
Government officials celebrated the end of eTolls as if it was New Year’s eve on Thursday, with a countdown clock and everything.
By this time tomorrow, eTolls will come to an end, but Gauteng motorists still have the prospect of a bill that needs settling.
eTolls may be going away this week, but Gauteng motorists will still be required to pay their bill to Sanral.
Despite Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi stating that more information about etolls would be presented during the Budget Speech 2024, there was no mention of the tolls.
Can the Gauteng Provincial Government stick to the script and switch off etolls or is this just another empty election year promise?
Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi says that 7 000 new CCTV cameras are being set up and police will start testing an “epanic” button to aid with GBV.
Etolls are set to be scrapped as government looks to settle Sanral’s debt on the matter but Gauteng drivers will stay have to pay somehow.
Outa says that if the last 20 percent of motorists stop paying etolls, the system will have to be abandoned.
Outa has filed its paper for the etolls litigation process in response to Sanral’s declarations against its members.
The average number of etolls bills not paid stand at around R55 million, with the highest outstanding amount being recorded on March 2017.
Not only will Gauteng motorists join the rest of SA in paying more at freeway toll gates, they’ll also pay more for etolls.
New roads in Gauteng will be etoll-free, according to Premier David Makhura who delivered his State of the Province Address today.
