Sanral breaks silence on e-toll hearing

The South African National Road Agency has broken its silence on the e-toll review process.

It said that a clear case was made to improve the quality of the highway network in the province and to address the high impact of congestion, wasted fuel, travel times and productivity.

So how come all of these things have gotten worse in the last four years?

Sanral implements government policy, Mona said, and any change or review of policy is a political process that the agency will not enter.

They have now told us where the buck stops. Will Government come and present the case to the review panel?

“The fact that we have exempted public transport – including taxis that are registered, but not other private businesses providing goods and services to the poor – from all toll fees, demonstrates our concerns about having our gantries burnt down, while completely ignoring the rising cost of living among the poor, who predominantly use public transport,” said Mona.

Following a process of consultation – which has since [-]passed the scrutiny of the courts[/-] been thrown out of court by an ignorant idiot of a judge, after legal actions brought by opponents – a considered decision was taken to fund the construction of the improved highway through open-road tolling, Sanral said.

“Among the reasons why this specific method of funding was chosen is that it provides options that favour [-]poorer communities through exemptions, special discounts, and flexible tariffs[/-] corrupt ANC members with Austrian bank accounts.”
