TRANSPORT Minister Fikile Mbalula has promised that a decision on the future of Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project, or e-tolls, in Gauteng was imminent.
Delivering his department’s budget vote on Wednesday, Mbalula said that the matter was on Cabinet’s radar and that a pronouncement would be made once the final decision had been taken.
“I can report that a decision is imminent. We have been working closely with the Minister of Finance to finalise outstanding matters that will enable the final determination by Cabinet on the funding of the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project, better known as e-tolls,” said Mbalula.
“This is a matter Cabinet has on its radar and a pronouncement will be made once the final decision has been taken.”
“We are alive to the adverse impact the delay in making the final decision on e-tolls has on the South African National Roads Agency’s balance sheet, and its ability to raise capital for its catalytic projects.”
