South Africa would be in serious trouble if the SA National Road Agency Limited (Sanral) failed to pay its R20 billion debt for Gauteng’s freeways, CEO Nazir Allie said this week.
Allie said the agency had no new money to pay the debt and managed to recoup only R2 billion from motorists who did not pay e-tolls. Only 30 percent of e-toll users paid their monthly bill.
Allie was addressing a panel set up by Gauteng premier David Markhura to investigate the economic impact of the e-tolling of the province’s freeways.
Its session in Pretoria on Wednesday kicked off with blaring vuvuzelas, singing and dancing of Democratic Alliance supporters protesting against e-tolling.
