Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa says the benefits of the new e-toll dispensation are beginning to be felt. He’s told Parliament on Wednesday that the idea of having a referendum on e-tolls is not being considered, adding that government sometimes has to take unpopular decisions for the benefit of its citizens.

Last month Ramaphosa announced a new e-toll dispensation of reduced tariffs by up to 50 percent for Gauteng motorists.

The DA wanted to know if the new dispensation is financially viable for both SANRAL and ordinary motorists. The party claimed that the payment recovery cost is rising while actual payment received is falling short.
