Etoll row claims a victim? Roads agency boss resigns

SA National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) CEO Nazir Alli has resigned, the agency has announced

Alli would continue in his post until June 3, chairman Tembakazi Mnyaka said in a statement.

The board accepted the resignation at a meeting on Monday.

He thanked Alli for his contribution since Sanral’s inception in 1998. Sanral did not give reasons for Alli’s resignation.

“The immediate focus and priority of the board is to ensure that Sanral continues to perform its essential role in operating and maintaining more than 16,000km of national roads across South Africa,” Mnyaka said.
