I rather think that that is a question that should be addressed to my colleague, the Minister of Finance! Obviously, we would certainly like to see an increase in allocation to roads in general.
Let me explain what has happened with the S'hamba Sonke programme. The member is quite right to say that this is not new money. It is basically a slice of the money that was in any case dedicated to provinces for road maintenance. The problem there was that very often in provinces money that was in the equitable share and was notionally for road maintenance, road repair and road extension, for instance, did not hit the tar, literally. It ended up in salaries and in all kinds of other things. What we have done this time round is that we have at least ring-fenced the allocation. Even then, there is some suggestion in one or two provinces that even that has not quite worked. However, the idea is to absolutely ensure that the money that is allocated for road maintenance goes into road maintenance, and that we spend it effectively also in terms of our job creation priorities, namely on labour-intensive methods.
Just this month the department entered into an agreement with provinces to ensure that as a department we increase our oversight capacity. Although it is money that is allocated to provinces in terms of the Division of Revenue Act, it is important that there is some assistance to provinces using the Department of Transport. What we are exploring in particular is using the SA National Roads Agency Ltd, Sanral, to maybe move them a little bit away from building too many toll roads and to focus them on using their project management capacity, their tendering capacity and their technical skills - these are often lacking in the municipal sphere and in some provinces - and deploying these to really addressing the areas where the roads issue is perhaps at its most dire, which is typically at the provincial and municipal level.
