Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana announced during his recent Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement that treasury would take over 70% of the e-tolls debtLesufi has addressed the media in Johannesburg and says the people of Gauteng will be kept updated about the final provincial decision on e-tolls. Lesufi says he will only be able to quantify the 30% that the Gauteng provincial government has to pay towards the e-toll debt after a consultation meeting with the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Transport. Lesufi says the national government needs to provide clarity on whether the debt obligation will include interest payments. He says the maintenance costs are also among the outstanding matters to be discussed.
Lesufi says that the task team picked to come up with the payment method to settle the 30% part of the e-tolls that remained after treasury committed to taking over the bulk of the budget, will also give direction on how the gantries would be used going forward.
Has this team been assembled already to come with solutions because that means for now, the status quo remains? SANRAL_za Lesufi
