Sanrals’ secrecy was responsible for the delay in OUTAs’ case. The gantries were already up before people new what they were going to be used for. Many people, like myself, thought that they were to show safety information, warn of accidents, indicate lane closures or changes of speed limit etc. like you see overseas.
With regard to the R22 billion, by Nazir Allis’ own admission they overspent by 152% so surely that means that they could have “improved” 52% more road than they actually did.
The “debt still remains unpaid” as the majority of Gauteng drivers aren’t paying e-tolls. When the fuel levy goes up we moan but we pay as we have no option. E-tolls requires billions of Rands worth of electronic equipment and the staff to run it just to create an invoice which in mine and many houses goes straight in the bin. Whereas with a fuel levy I would be paying in advance i.e. “user pay”. And why does it matter where the money comes from as long as the roads are paid for?
In the case of Sanral vs the Western Cape it was said that Sanral has to go back to the drawing board and seek public approval and participation. Where was that as far as Gauteng drivers are concerned?
