Gauteng motorists can breathe a breath of fresh air, but
only for one month, as the implementation of the E-tolls in Gauteng have been
postponed for one month by the Transport Department and the SA National Roads
Agency Limited (Sanral) on Thursday.
Director General, George Mahlalela made the announcement
hours after the ANC and Cosatu indicated that they would ask for a month-long
delay. The Gauteng E-tolls were originally planned to be implemented by 30
April 2012 but will now become reality on 30 May 2012.
The extra time is required to finalise regulations following
regulatory and administrative issues brought forward by the public and
interested stakeholders. This will also give the Transport Department and
Sanral more time to explore alternative funding mechanisms.
