GUEST – Wayne Duvenage, Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse CEO
Nearly a year after the South African government announced a plan to shut down e-tolls, Gauteng motorists are still paying for the defunct scheme.
During his medium-term budget policy statement on 23 October 2022, finance minister Enoch Godongwana revealed that the government had decided on an alternative funding mechanism to pay the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project’s (GFIP’s) debt.
The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) — originally established as the Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance with the sole intention of getting the e-toll system scrapped — said it was dismayed at the government’s failure to implement its own decision.
