Premier: E-tolling to be reviewed
Gauteng's contentious e-tolling system would be reviewed by a panel set up by the provincial government.
Speaking during his maiden State of the Province Address, Premier David Makhura announced that the provincial government would review the impact of the system and invited proposals regarding how to find solutions to the matter.
This will be done in consultation with the national government, municipalities and all key stakeholders.
He said the details of the panel would be outlined later.
“While we shall not promise easy solutions and claim easy victories, we must make it clear we cannot close our eyes to the cries of the sectors of our population who are affected by the cost of travelling across the province,” Makhura said.
He, however, urged motorists to continue paying their e-tolling accounts until a lasting solution to the system was found.
