Confidentiality agreement with OUTA above board - SANRAL

Agency denies that the deal was intended to conceal information from the public

No illicit deal was signed between OUTA and SANRAL

Amid widespread speculation about the confidentiality agreement that was signed regarding the Gauteng e-toll contract documents, SANRAL categorically denies that the agreement was designed to conceal information from the public (see report).

The information requested by OUTA is and remains the intellectual property of third party organisations. In line with standard practice, contractual undertakings of confidentiality were given to these parties by SANRAL when the contracts were concluded in terms of standard practice.

The pricing of the ORT contract with ETC (Pty) Ltd as well as related information (including the FIDIC conditions of contract) has been available on the SANRAL website since June 2012.

The legal process in which the contracts, referred to above, are being used is currently underway.  SANRAL is determined to adhere to and respect the integrity of the legal process and the positive pronouncement by the Constitutional Court in relation to the rights of the parties in this matter.  SANRAL remains concerned about on-going statements made in the media about various aspects of this matter, which appear to be designed to cast doubt on the process and litigate the matter rather in a court of public opinion as part of an ongoing fund raising exercise.  This tabloid-like approach to the issues placed in dispute by OUTA is unfortunate as it undermines the court process and the constitutional rights of those involved.  

The contract for the design, build and operation of the tolling system is between SANRAL and ETC (Pty) Ltd and not with the sub-contractors. The lead contractor has sub-contracted work to various other companies (34) as shown below. This includes the subsidiaries of the lead contractor ETC (Pty) Ltd. This list may change as circumstances warrant during the course of the contract.
