Failing ANC backtracks on e-Tolls
10 September 2018
The National Minister of Transport, Blade Nzimande, is now backtracking on the failing ANC’s announcement earlier this year that e-Tolls are not working and need to be relooked.
The DA has learnt that Minister Nzimande is now reluctant to scrap e-Tolls because he wants the gantries to pay for the R67 billion that was needed for the South African National Roads Agencies (Sanral).
This about-turn by the ANC, shows that they are not serious about scrapping e-tolls and are merely using this as an election ploy to curry favour with voters.
The same empty promises were made in 2014 after the failing ANC in Gauteng suffered badly at the polls.
