Yes, sir, at the end. [Interjections.]
Fortunately, a number of members that have raised the issue agreed with us that this is a matter that requires our attention. Where we differ is how we address this matter. I said I would put some of these things into perspective. Perhaps I should repeat some of these things because there is this notion that this is tolling without alternate routes. It is not true. It is not entirely true that it is without alternate routes. We are saying that, as part of the package, the R55 and the R101 roads must also receive attention, so that they are not in the state in which they are now and it would be the choice of the motorist to choose to use the tolled road. [Interjections.]
We have reduced the toll fee payable by motorcycles with e-tags to 20 cents, for light vehicles with e-tags to 30 cents, for nonarticulated trucks with e-tags to 75 cents, and for articulated trucks with e-tags to R1,51 per kilometre. With regard to exemption for public transport, as I have pointed out earlier, taxis and buses will not pay toll fees. Maximum toll fees payable per month are capped at R550 and 15% discount after R400 per month to remove the uncertainty and provide relief to frequent users. [Interjections.]
We have also introduced time-of-day savings of 20% for heavy vehicles to deal with the concerns of the freight industry. This allows for lower toll fees for off-peak times to reduce traffic congestion during peak hours and also to reduce the economic impact of the toll fees on consumers.
There will be a contribution from the fiscus to reduce the tariff without placing too much strain on Sanral's balance sheet of R5,75 billion as an adjustment appropriation this year. This adjustment is motivated in accordance with section 30 of the Public Finance Management Act, which provides for the adjustment due to significant unforeseeable economic and financial events affecting the fiscal targets set in the annual Budget. [Interjections.]
Mr Dikobo said there was never a time when this House was told about this. Hon member, I accept that your predecessors might not have given you a handover report. [Interjections.] We tabled these things in the Budget Review. At the bottom of page 94 of this year's Budget Review - if you are in a hurry, it is at the bottom - we refer to the exposure of these state- owned enterprises. Break the tradition of not reading documents. [Laughter.] Read it today, hon Dikobo, and thank you very much for the support we have received. [Applause.]
