Gauteng government makes first payment to settle e-toll debt
The Gauteng government has made its first instalment of R3.8 billion to settle its e-toll debt.
In April this year, the government shut down the e-toll gantries and undertook to pay off debt itself instead of transferring it to motorists.
The total e-toll debt to the SA National Roads Agency was divided between the Gauteng government and the National Treasury.
National Treasury is responsible for 70%.
The Gauteng government has committed to settling the remaining 30%.
In a media briefing on Monday, Gauteng Finance MEC Lebogang Maile said that the provincial government had made the first step to servicing the R12.9 billion debt.
