SANRAL distorts figures to conceal tolling sins
1 MAY 2015
The City of Cape Town has noted that SANRAL is trying its very best to paint its Winelands Tolling Project in a positive light, either by placing disingenuous full page advertisements in local newspapers or by misrepresenting figures. Read more below:
SANRAL has in its papers before the Western Cape High Court presented figures about the Winelands Tolling Project in a way which has the effect of distorting the financial picture and obscuring the implications of tolling.
This is in line with SANRAL’s conduct thus far in the City’s review application and their appetite for secrecy in matters of great public importance.
Instead of playing open cards with the public about the real costs of the proposed tolling of the N1 and N2 freeways, SANRAL tries to conceal it with accounting practices.
