Finance Minister Tito Mboweni has lashed out at the South African National Roads Agency , who suspended the process of pursuing e-toll debt this week, saying the decision was a bad one and should be reversed.
It’s a very bad decision. They should never have taken that decision. It is not helpful in the bond market, it is undermining what we have said in the budget that we support the user must pay principle,” Mboweni said at a media briefing on Edward Kieswetter’s appointment as the new South African Revenue Service commissioner at the national treasury.
Cosatu, the ANC’s labour ally who has been fighting against e-tolls since its inception, called on the party to “rein in” Mboweni. The federation said Mboweni behaves “like a free agent”.
