The Gauteng provincial government (GPG) will table a “concrete proposal” to national government by December 15 outlining plans to pay off the province’s portion of the long-contested e-tolls debt and switch off or repurpose the gantries, assures Gauteng Finance MEC Jacob Mamabolo. Unpacking the province’s Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement (MTBPS) on Tuesday, he said that it was now time to “conclude the modalities of the settlement of the debt” and that feedback on the proposal and “finality” were expected before the State of the Province Address early next year.
