I dont think the intended Cape Town tolls will be e-tolls as your headlines purport

They compare the PPC build to GFIP throughout the statement, so it would logically follow that they will be. We'll leave it as-is for now, but will investigate. If you find information to the contrary, please alert us (PM or e-mail are fine).

From the horses mouth:
http://www.nra.co.za/live/content.php?Session_ID=c03f19ccfcc0dd85ff6327cee4143893&Item_ID=4809

So a third party (the DA) makes a press release/statement, none of the other media houses reporting on this statement mentions e-tolls for the Western Cape, but just because GFIP is mentioned your team thinks they must mean e-tolls?

They will not implement e-tolls for that because they know people will use it and not pay if they don't get the buy in. With conventional tolls you can't use it without paying.

The reason the GFIP is mentioned is because its the comparable project, urban tolling after upgrading existing roads and infrastructure, after spatial development has already taken place due to existing free roads, not due to the tolling method.

All I want it for the facts to be correct.

Fixed. There were a fair number of other publications that called them E-tolls, by the way, but we certainly want to ensure our facts are in order. Thanks for the heads-up.
