Minister, the facts show that this kind of e-toll road often fails, as it has done in Taipei, India, California, Australia, Portugal, Hong Kong, Edinburgh, Greater Manchester and elsewhere. The public in those countries and cities rejected the e-toll system owing to pricing, and, in most cases, the system went bankrupt or was voted out.
With the great number of international failures making the Gauteng e-toll system a huge risk - the huge costs involved and the great lack of public support in Gauteng - would the Minister not concede that this e-toll system was a bad choice to fund our roads, and shut it down, or should the public vote for the DA so that we can do you a favour and shut it down for you? [Laughter.] [Applause.]
