Parliament has given the green light for the reintroduction of road and bridge tolls through a fully electronic collection system after approving a 20-year Public-Private Partnership (PPP) concession between the Ministry of Roads and Highways and a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to be established by Rock Africa Limited.
The agreement is expected to pave the way for the deployment of a nationwide digital tolling infrastructure aimed at mobilising revenue for road development while eliminating the long queues and traffic congestion associated with the former manual toll collection system."If the government decides that they will bring the road tolls, but it will be electronic, like what I have seen in South Africa, I think that I will support it," he stated.
