Lesufi insists e-tolls are history even after Godongwana says there's no deal in place
Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi asserts that e-tolls are a thing of the past, despite the National Treasury contending that the province hasn't met the conditions set out to get rid of the contentious project.
“eTolls are history. We will clear up the confusion. Thanks to the transport minister for clarifying this confusion. Sunrise will not find us where sunset let us. Days are never counted backwards,” he said, quoting a tweet by Newzroom Afrika in which Transport Minister Sindisiwe Chikunga discussed scrapping the billion-rand project.
“They would meet as a task team and then the ministers' political principles would brief them. By the beginning of the year, the only outstanding item was the issue of funding from the Gauteng side. So the task team concluded its work. The province and national departments have agreed to adopt the results of the task team, stating that we agree this is how e-tolls are going to be eliminated.
