Chairperson, I hereby move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes with the utmost apprehension the decision of the SA National Roads Agency Limited to continue with processes to register and issue e-tolling tags for the new toll-road system in Gauteng when the Minister of Transport had issued a clear instruction putting a halt to all construction processes related to the toll-road projects across South Africa and while the Gauteng legislature is conducting public hearings on the new tolling system;
2) further notes that since the instruction of the Minister, Sanral has continued with print, electronic and billboard advertisements and the construction of e-tag centres across shopping malls in Gauteng to register citizens for e-tags;
3) condemns in the harshest possible terms such a blatant disregard for the Minister's instruction and powers of Parliament and legislatures to facilitate public input on issues pertaining to the lives of our people; and
4) calls on the Minister of Transport to act against the management and board of Sanral for acting with impunity and disregarding his instructions and the powers of the Gauteng legislature to be the voice of the people of Gauteng.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
