A REPORT detailing the public's view on the Gauteng highway tolling system is to be forwarded to Transport Minister Sbu Ndebele.
While all political parties agreed on the need for public participation and infrastructure development, not all agreed on the funding method for such projects, petitions committee chairman Jacob Khawe said.
The DA, however, is fighting for the entire tolling contract to be cancelled. DA Gauteng caucus leader Jack Bloom said: "One thing is clear: the people of this province have spoken ... that they do not want these tolls."
Bloom has also questioned the purpose of the debate on the tolls when the first phase of the tolls is already expected to start in February next year.
Cosatu general-secretary Zwelinzima Vavi said he had requested a meeting with Ndebele to explain why the project was going ahead, but he had not had a response.
