Yes, thank you, hon Connie September. I think it is important for the hon Ollis not to conflate issues here, because you yourself acknowledged in the committee that because you only pay after using the road, you actually pay six times more. And I just want to say that it is important that we don't come here and mislead the House.
The one thing that you must realise is that we are talking about 23% of those who use the roads daily. There are many people who don't use the roads daily. And I just want to indicate that, as the Department of Transport and as Sanral, we are very happy that through the implementation of this Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project we have been able to realise some of the big challenges that we have with the Electronic National Traffic Information System, eNaTIS, and we are busy cleaning it up.
I think it is important that we realise that what we are reporting here is the information that we have in our system, as per the question that you asked. We are not going to answer questions that you didn't ask in this House. So, I just want to say to you that the figure that you asked for was with regard to implementation from 30 December to 31 January. This is the information that we have.
As we speak, there are more details that we will be able to give you to indicate how this process has grown. Even if you go to many of the outlets, be they at Pick n Pay or the Sanral outlets in the malls, you will find that the number of people that are registering is increasing daily. Just from 3 December until today, more than 300 000 vehicles have been registered.
I want to say to you: Don't underestimate the intelligence of the people of South Africa. They know what they want. [Interjections.] They want world- class roads, and they got those roads in Gauteng. They want more of that. In fact, as we speak, only yesterday the Limpopo province gave Sanral an additional 1 600 kilometres. That is an acknowledgement of the capacity that Sanral has to build, operate, manage and maintain the roads of South Africa.
I just want to say to the hon Ollis that you cannot use e-tolls to tell the people of Gauteng that they must vote for the DA. Don't underestimate their intelligence. [Interjections.] They know the party that brought them liberation; they know the party that will improve their lives; they know the party that will be able to take them forward. And it is their intention to move South Africa forward. [Interjections.]
