Residents require clarity as e-tolls supposed shutdown nears
27 March 2024
GOOD calls on Premier Panyaza Lesufi and other stakeholders to come clean about the technicalities and timeline for the supposed shuttering of e-tolls.
In his State of the Province Address last February, Lesufi boldly claimed that the highly controversial e-toll system would come to an end on the 31st of March - just mere days away.
It should be noted that this isn't the first time the Premier has made such commitments. In October 2022 he also said that "e-tolls will be history in our province".
Moreover, Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana made a similar promise in his mini budget speech at the time, but negotiations between the Treasury and Provincial Government didn't bear fruit.
