A recent parliamentary Q&A has revealed that the government has no plans to end e-tolls despite its promise that the gantries would be shutdown by the end of 2022.
Despite the promise that the end of e-tolls was to be finalised by the end of 2022, the Gauteng Provincial Government still has no formal plans to shut down the gantries or how they will foot the e-toll debt owed – meaning motorists could have to continue paying for e-Tolls for the foreseeable future.
MEC for Roads and Transport, Kedibone Diale, in the Gauteng Provincial Legislature , revealed that the GPG had set up a steering committee to find a solution to how e-tolls in the province can be ended.nothing has come of the committee, and any suggested solutions drafted must still be approved – meaning there are no solutions yet.
“The Gauteng Provincial Government and Department of Transport have no plans in place to end e-tolls, and the government’s incompetence clearly indicates that the announcement of e-tolls being scrapped was made prematurely,” the party added. Outa believes the contract extension is an overreach and a waste of money, considering the end of e-tolls was promised to be finalised by the end of 2022.
