E-tolls hot potato gets bailout promise — beginning with R23.7 billion

Finance minister Enoch Godongwana announced that the Gauteng provincial government and national government have agreed to contribute 30% and 70%, respectively, of the South African National Roads Agency's (Sanral) debt and interest obligations.

Their contributions would cover the entirety of the funding impasse resulting from uncertainty surrounding the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP), which includes the controversial e-toll system.

Wouldnt have been to bad if we paid R23.7 billion to get rid of it... next month they will ask for another R20 Billion
 
They could not find a solution before.... so there will be no bailout and new laws will be introduced to ensure long term imprisonment sentences for those not willing to pay?

Cheaper to just build a big wall around Gauteng than try to figure out how to imprison basically every resident.:ROFL:
 
Haven't they been looking for a solution for the last 12 years now? What makes this different?


Wasn't there talk of slapping fuel with another levy to cover the cost of e-Tolls?
 
Goodbye E-tolls

After years of heavy resistance from motorists, Gauteng premier Panyaza Lesufi has announced that the province will scrap its much-hated e-toll system.

Lesufi's announcement comes after finance minister Enoch Godongwana's 2022 Medium Term Budget Policy Statement.
I spotted at least two typos in the article.

Good article though.
 
We already said our goodbyes a while ago so basically they just making it official.
 
Lol, and this is the plank that everybody hoped was going to miraculously resolve Eskom's debt as well..

Thank you & high fives to all the non-paying citizens who refused to support this government corruption, and shame hey, if only Pajamas Lêsoentoe & fans were as ready to start a life without ANC corruption in this country..
