E-toll review panel announced
Updated | By Lonwabo Miso
The panel, which will meet for the first time on July 17, will assess the impact of the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project on the economy and on Gauteng residents.
It would invite proposals and submissions from Gauteng residents on proposed solutions. The panel would submit its finding and recommendations to the provincial government.
"The panel is expected to present monthly reports and final report and recommendations to the Gauteng provincial government by 30 November 2014."
The panel members are: chairman Muxe Nkondo, Patricia Hanekom, John Ngcebetsha, Vuyo Mahlathi, Luci Abrahams, Fiona Tregenna, Anna Mokgokong, John Sampson, Lauretta Teffo, and Chris Malikane.
Five more members were expected to be announced later, Makhura said.
"I will announce the rest of the names once I have concluded consultations with them."
Makhura announced the establishment of a panel to examine the impact of e-tolling last month.
On September 25, President Jacob Zuma signed into law the Transport Laws and Related Matters Amendment Bill, giving the go-ahead for e-tolling in Gauteng.
The e-toll system started operating across Gauteng on December 3, following several court challenges to halt the project.
