Sanral welcomes Nene's e-toll stance

Johannesburg - The SA National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) on Thursday welcomed Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene's endorsement of the e-tolling system in Gauteng.

Delivering his budget speech in Parliament on Wednesday, Nene said the toll tariffs would be adjusted downwards, but government remained committed to having road users fund improvements, to keep Sanral solvent.

Sanral spokesperson Vusi Mona said Nene's statement proved tolls would not have a negative impact on the poor.
