Gauteng Finance MEC Jacob Mamabolo said that a memorandum of understanding between the provincial government, National Treasury and the South African National Roads Agency was still being drawn up.

Mamabolo delivered his budget speech at the Gauteng Legislature in Johannesburg on Thursday.

Last year, Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi made a declaration that electronic tolling systems would be scrapped in the province.The memorandum of understanding will establish how much each entity will pay towards settling the R47 billion debt for Sanral's Gauteng freeway improvement project. Mamabolo said that once that had been decided, his office would find money in the budget to set aside."We are aware that this is posing a difficult challenge and sometimes people start to say: 'are e-tolls scrapped, are e-tolls out of the way?'"

Mamabolo did not give a specific timeline of when this MOU would be signed but said that this would happen soon.

What were you expecting? These fools probably forgot about and will shift monies around using state of disaster! Its party time for MYANC comrades! Remember how they looted R500billion COVID19 money? VoetsekANC2024

We do not want to pay it as it was forced onto us very secretively and suddenly like a thieve in the night;we didnt have much say in it. Just look how fast it was stopped when properly announced in the Cape on the N2;People were warned about it beforehand and it was stopped!

ANC GP is taking us for a ride! Panyaza and Fikile have been doing PR around etolls and even giving us dates when they’ll be gone! Govt is not effective in terms of implementing decisions and plans where “they” don’t benefit.
