Treasury will take on Sanral’s debt

Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan says South Africa is looking at options to retire a multi-billion-Rands debt incurred by Sanral for highway upgrades.


This follows the High Court’s ruling against e-tolling on parts of Gauteng’s highways.


The income from e-tolling would have been used to repay the debt.


The Treasury may have to pay for the entire 20-billion-Rands loan, despite having only budgeted five-point-six-billion-Rands for the project in February.
