Plan to reduce toll fees announced in budget
The government will provide the SA National Roads Authority (Sanral) with R5.8 billion to reduce its debt, so that the toll fees on the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project highways could be reduced to 30c/km for light vehicles from the original envisaged 66c/km, Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan said on Wednesday, 22 February 2012.

He said SA needs to become a solidarity society so that the legacy of the past can be addressed and inequality reduced. Speaking at a media briefing ahead of delivering the 2012/13 Budget, he said: "We need to move out of our comfort zone and ask ourselves 'what am I willing to sacrifice', as we cannot reduce inequality without sacrifice."
"Although the government has set out an ambitious infrastructure spending programme, the financing of it is manageable. So I trust you will join me in seeing the glass as being half full rather than half empty," Gordhan said.
The toll fee decision is part of this solidarity drive. "This budget has been crafted at a challenging but hopeful time. We have to say to our people that economic uncertainty will be with us for some time, yet we have a programme of economic change that can steadily roll back unemployment, poverty and inequality.
"It requires an extraordinary national effort from all role-players, committed not just to identifying the barriers to progress, not just to proposing solutions, but also working together, over the long haul" he said in his Budget speech.
