The Gauteng government is making progress in paying off its e-toll debt, with a further payment of R3.3 billion expected to be made to the South African National Roads Agency (SANRAL) on Monday.
Finance MEC Lebogang Maile announced at a media briefing on Sunday that this marked the department’s second payment.
When the e-toll system was abolished, the National Treasury agreed to cover 70% of the debt, leaving the province responsible for the remaining 30%.
