South Africa's secret toll profits

While toll fees on major South African highways have increased substantially over the past few years, the profits of the private companies maintaining these routes are a closely guarded secret.

Although highways like the N1, N3, and N4 are owned by the taxpayer-funded South African National Roads Agency (Sanral), large sections are maintained, upgraded, and operated by private concessionaires.
 
Another example of the Government going ahead with something that the public did not condone.

Thank goodness some people's gravy train will be coming to an end.

Well we can only hope.

Pretty sure civil disobedience might reach a point where massive amounts of people will simply drive the boom gates over. Cannot arrest thousands of motorists.

The next take down after Scam-Rall should be these companies like Bakwena etc with their outrageous tolls fees on the n4/N1 especially in PTA. Most likely Outa will take them down in the courts especially since im sure there was no public participation.

As far as civil disobedience goes, you gotta be joking, the governmunt will call out the military and the TAXI ASSOCIATION.

One could argue that this is what privatisation leads to: excessive profiteering.
