The public defiance of e-tolls and its scrapping serves as a reminder that public policy processes in a representative democracy are sacred. While elections
give legitimacy to government, public engagement lends credibility to policymaking.
According to the South African National Roads Agency , road users will continue to be responsible for all outstanding e-toll invoices. The ANC’s provincial leadership was concerned after the party’s electoral fortunes declined by 10.45 percentage points from 64.04% in 2009 to 53.59% in 2014; and by 3.40-percentage points to 50.19% in the 2019 general elections.
Going into the 2019 general elections, the provincial ANC was concerned that the party would be punished at the polls again, and that its followers would abandon it.According to StatsSA’s September 2023 provincial GDP data, Gauteng is the province with the biggest contribution to GDP growth. The province accounted for R33 of every R100 generated by the South African economy. Gauteng’s economy is larger than those of KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape combined.
