Johannesburg - Gauteng premier David Makhura has defended the work of the e-tolls advisory panel, adding that the executive council also received a report on the process.
The Gauteng executive council received an update report from the e-tolls advisory panel on Wednesday, Makhura said.
"The executive council is pleased that the panel has concluded its consultation process and has now commenced with analysis and writing its report," he said.
"This panel is not a waste of time, its work is very important for the province."
The panel is expected to submit its report to Makhura this month.
Makhura said he would then table the report before the executive council for its consideration and a decision on a way forward.
"The Gauteng provincial government reiterates that it will seriously consider the findings and recommendations of the advisory panel."
The panel, sitting in Pretoria, was appointed by Makhura in July to examine the economic and social impact of the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project and the e-tolling system set up to fund it.
