Gauteng e-tolls consultations to get under way
The advisory panel looking into the socioeconomic impact of e-tolls in Gauteng would start a month-long consultations process with organisations and individuals on Wednesday.
Through the hearings, to be held at the Gautrain offices, in Midrand, the panel would seek views on the economic, social and environmental impacts of the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP) and e-tolls.
In considering the direct and indirect costs and benefits, the panel would look at the implications and perceptions of financing the GFIP from the fiscus, taking into account other demands on the fiscus.
The consultations would kick off on August 27, when labour was expected to give its input. Businesses would make submissions on August 28 and 29, civil society on September 1 to 3, information and knowledge institutions on September 4 and transport organisations on September 8 and 9.
The hearings up to September 9 would be open only to organisations but would be followed by public meetings throughout Gauteng.
A notice providing details of the public meetings and a call for written submissions would be published on August 31.
The panel would, at the end of November, submit a report to Gauteng Premier David Makhura, who established the panel in July, providing analysis of the information provided during the hearings and public meetings, as well as recommendations.
