The government has shelved plans to toll Western Cape highways.
Deputy transport minister Jeremy Cronin told the Cape Times' Business Report on Wednesday: “We see no priority in ‘tolling’ the R300, N1, and N2 in Cape Town... it can't be a priority.”
Cronin acknowledged that the national government had been persuaded against the so-called Winelands Toll Road project by huge opposition, especially from the city and provincial government.
“There is a lack of support from all spheres of government; the city and the province have been the loudest.” - Sapa
