Political parties have criticized the South African National Roads Agency (SANRAL) and the government over the e-toll scheme, following the National Assembly's approval of a R5 billion special appropriation to help SANRAL pay its debt.
Political parties on Thursday slammed the South African National Roads Agency Limite and government for what they said had been an ill-conceived scheme from the start.
"We’ve been told to remove the e-tolls because it’s anti-poor. When you remove it, and take away the debt, it’s anti-poor. I don’t know what we should do, that’s not anti-poor."Action SA’s Alan Beesley has questioned how much of SANRAL’s more than R28 billion debt is due to corruption and incompetence.
