Here's some sweet news for you... According to this report, if SA adopts new technology that Brazil has been using,
technology 'can double sugar cane yields' in this country. Get your wallet out... It looks like e-tolling could be here to stay, and that concerns the Opposition to Urban Tolling Association (OUTA). One of its main concerns is that the voices of Gauteng motorists, who will have to pay to use the roads,

E-tolling is almost certain to have an impact on inflation: every company operating in Gauteng, or with employees in Gauteng, or having dealings with any company that operates there or has vehicles passing through there, will face increased costs. And you know they will have to pass them on.
So don't think you're home free because you happen to live in any of the other provinces. You'll also be paying.
