Johannesburg - Elements of the Gauteng e-toll system must be reviewed, Gauteng premier David Makhura announced on Thursday.
These elements related to the affordability, sustainability and administration problems with the system, he said.
Makhura was addressing media on findings and recommendations following a report made by a panel which reviewed the socio-economic impact of the e-tolls last year.
"The provincial government is already working with national government and the three metros, the affected municipalities, Johannesburg, Tshwane and Ekurhuleni, to consider all the recommendations and their implications," he told media in Johannesburg.
The discussions included deciding on the best funding model for the roads that already been upgraded, as well as for investments into public transport infrastructure and new roads, he said.
The panel was appointed on July 17 to examine the economic and social impact of the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project and the e-tolling system set up to fund it.
It presented the report to Makhura on November 30. Its contents were not made public.
There has been a public outcry over the implementation of e-tolls on Gauteng's highways, with many motorists refusing to pay their bills.
Panel chairperson Prof Muxe Nkondo handed the panel's final report to Makhura in Parktown, Johannesburg, on November 30.Meanwhile, Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance's (Outa) Wayne Duvenage tweeted that he had not been allowed to attend the e-tolls presentation.
