Big questions over e-toll shutdown remain

[Jan]

Taxpayers coughing up for e-toll shutdown

While the e-toll system in Gauteng will officially be shut down from 12 April 2024, taxpayers will ultimately be covering at least a portion of the outstanding debt on the project.

The official government gazette that scrapped e-tolls only came after an agreement between National Treasury and the Gauteng Provincial Government.

As long as the cadres are still eating!

The remaining etoll debt should come out of the cadres retirement annuities, they the fukkers responsible of this BS in the first place.

No question remains with me

When refunds

When refunds

Refunds for who. Traitors who paid e-tolls should be fined!

Just set up toll gates at every entry point to Gauteng, and any vehicle with non-GP plates has to pay a R250 fee to enter.

Don't let the chump hear this. He'll accuse you of being a white supremacist, nostalgic for apartheid, standing with your friends around the braai

You work for government?

Tax payers were always going to pay in some way, that is not the issue. It's the massive inflated cost of this brain fart even after all the tolls paid.

When you build a road, someone has to pay for it. Either the user pays or the government.
It should actually be the user or a local government paying as it is not a national road (although they're marked as such).
The only issue is the cost of etoll set-up.

But then again, I have a suspicion people would not pay, even if the toll setup was free of charge.

First what did they build? The road was already there. Second, what are the fuel levies for then?

 

[furpile]

So the roads were supposed to cost around R7bn when they started, then they quickly escalated it to around R20bn by adding the etoll crap. Now some people have been paying tolls for 10 years and we still have R43bn debt to pay off?

Fuel levy for fuel in Gauteng and the other Vaalistan provinces.

Leave the rest of us out of this
