Gauteng Executive Council receives update on e-tolls

"The executive council is pleased that the panel has concluded its consultation process and has now commenced with analysis and writing its report," he told reporters in Johannesburg.

 

"This panel is not a waste of time, its work is very important for the province."

 

The panel is expected to submit its report to Makhura this month.

 

Makhura said he would then table the report before the executive council for its consideration and a decision on a way forward.

 

"The Gauteng provincial government reiterates that it will seriously consider the findings and recommendations of the advisory panel."

 

The panel, sitting in Pretoria, was appointed by Makhura in July to examine the economic and social impact of the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project and the e-tolling system set up to fund it.
