Recommendations of the e-tolls review panel will be implemented, ANC Gauteng provincial chairperson Paul Mashatile said on Friday.

"We cannot close our eyes in Gauteng when our people have problems," he told the party's provincial conference in Pretoria.

"If anybody is going to come to me and say 'don't discuss e-tolls', I won't agree. We must be the first as ANC to say to our people we have heard you."

He said government agencies, particularly the South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral), did not run the country.

"It's not that I don't like Sanral, but they must know their place," he said.

Mashatile told delegates that Sanral officials had been "making noises" about the Gauteng e-tolls.

Gauteng Premier David Makhura established a review panel to examine the economic and social impact of the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project and the electronic tolling system set up to fund it.

The panel is expected to present its findings to Makhura at the end of November.
