Chair and Minister, I will pose this question in Afrikaans.
Aan die een kant wil die regering openbare ondernemings soos die SA Lugdiens, SAL, openbaar hou, maar aan die ander kant word openbare paaie soos di in Gauteng geprivatiseer. Dit maak natuurlik glad nie sin nie. Ek wil die Minister vra wanneer hy van plan is om Gauteng se e-tolstelsel te aktiveer en of dit sinvol is, gegewe die openbare weerstand teen die stelsel. Moet daar nie eerder verdere openbare verhore gehou word in hierdie verband nie? Dankie. (Translation of Afrikaans paragraph follows.)
[On the one hand government wants to keep public enterprises like the South African Airways, SAA, public, but on the other hand public roads like those in Gauteng are privatised. Of course it does not make any sense at all. I want to ask the Minister as to when does he plan to activate Gauteng's e- tolling system and whether it is sensible, given the opposition of the public against the system. Should further public hearings not be held in this regard instead.]
