e Ministry of Transport statement on Gauteng Freeway Improvement Plan (GFIP) e-tolling
1 Nov 2011
The Ministry of Transport has noted media reports regarding the tolling of the Freeways in Gauteng. We wish to clarify that the statement released by the Office of the Minister of Transport Mr Sibusiso Ndebele on the matter two weeks ago remains relevant and applicable.
The statement made reference to the halting of any future planned tolling of roads in the country, including the planned Phase 2 of Gauteng Freeway Improvement Plan (GFIP), Cape Winelands and the Wildcoast.
With regard to GFIP, it's important to note that there's a clear distinction/separation between Phase 1 (almost completed) and Phase (no work has started as yet).
The GFIP Phase 1 is almost complete and we would like to hear alternative views from the public on the best possible model of financing the debt incurred.
