South African National Roads Agency Ltd (Sanral) CEO Nazir Alli has called on South Africans to be responsible and respect the Constitutional Court decision that has given e-tolling in Gauteng the go-ahead. Alli said while the debate around the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP) had been ongoing for some time, it was now time to move on and respect the court’s decision. “Given the fact that the money pot to fund new transport infrastructure is small, I appeal to all South Africans, now that the highest court in the land has pronounced on e-tolling, to respect this,” he said. “Otherwise there will be an erosion of the rule of law in this country. And that is a slippery slope we don’t want to go down.”
