In South Africa in 2004 the fuel levy made up 26.3% of a litre of petrol sold locally, dropping to 17.9% in 2012. In the UK this figure was 71.2% in 2004, and 59.5% in 2010. In Brazil it was 46.4% in 2004, and 42.5% in 2012.
The fuel levy in South Africa was ring-fenced for the provision of road infrastructure until 1988, when it was removed and the funding flowed into the general fiscus.
According to Van Rensburg, the current unproductivity of the fuel levy resulted from the registered vehicle population in South Africa expanding by 47.2% between 2003 to 2012, while vehicle kilometres travelled increased by 38.5% over the same period. However, fuel sales only increased by 21.9%.

SANRAL is so incompetent
My comment: go **** yourself cANCer
I'm done with commenting on proposals, voting in petitions, protest marches etc......
If they still don't grasp that we simply don't want e-tolls, whatever the tariff, they better start thinking how they are gonna force us to pay
Just saw the new SANRAL ad.
Trying the old TV license trick. Because it's the right thing to do.

Nasty pocketses, that is all.Ok, so we already know that the transfer of eNatis data to the SANRAL system leaves a lot to be desired, for example a few months ago when I checked one of my vehicles it was on the SANRAL system in the previous owners name in spite of having been on eNatis for some time.
But now there seems to be a problem on the SANRAL system with disappearing payments.
For example, I have a SANRAL printed receipt for a cash payment, but there is no record of this payment on the SANRAL system. The SANRAL lady showed me a whole manual log of such missing payments, so this is not an isolated incident, and it seems as if most of these missing payments come from July 2015.
So it seems that the SANRAL database is completely corrupted, wonder how they are going to sort this out, they don't seem to have a record of the lost information, unless someone with a receipt complains.
