Some interesting views on the Tollgates saga.....
Against_SANRAL
Listen to this now... SANRAL added that they spent 1.2bn on the roads, they also added that they are far in debt by doing the roads, now they said that they receive 1.2bn a year from all the toll roads. Now they will make over 6 bn a year for the new tolling system.IF they receive 1.2bn a year from the toll roads already - why are they so far in debt if the roads cost them R1.2bn, there is no need for them to increase this. What will they then do with the extra 4.8 bn a year?? IF they so far in debt, what happened to the 1.2bn they received in the first place?? Corrupt if you asked me..... Take in consideration that 50c per KM it will cost me R300 a day to use the road where it currently cost me R7 a day using the toll roads. Show you once again that the ANC or the black people in the ANC is so greedy that they dont care about the people that made SA today what it is. Watch the news people, big things to come - ANC must rather step down now or get a grip on life because there is thousands of black and whihte people that will take this in there own hands then what are they gona do. Seeing that the day they open the new toll system, thousands of people is going to make the highways come to a standstill. I will be one of them, imagine 5000 cars on the highways not going anywhere. We are gonna stop on the highway switch off the cars and make our point. Decrease the fees and we might move our vechiles. This will result in a huge economic pressure. There is also rumours that the GOV will be attacked on the highways seeing that the new tolling system wont affect the GOV - we are paying for them. GOOD LUCK GOV........

No neck massage for Sanral staff
Cape Town - The increase in national toll roads has shocked and outraged many. Anton Alberts of the Freedom Front Plus demanded to know from Transport Minister Sibusiso Ndebele whether he would consider retracting a tender for welfare services for SA National Roads Agency (Sanral) staff.
Alberts deemed it inappropriate that "non-work-related" services such as psychologists, biokinetics staff, dieticians, legal practitioners, debt counsellors and nursing staff be provided for employees.
He asked whether the minister would not rather use the funds to lower the fee per kilometre paid by the Gauteng drivers.
No, indeed, said Ndebele, giving a written reply on Monday to a parliamentary question from Alberts.
"Sanral is obliged by the Occupational Health and Safety Act to identify and implement measures to reduce and avoid any possible health risk to its employees," he said.
"Sanral's employee wellness programme therefore not only goes towards meeting the requirements of (the) act but is also part of its overall employer value propositions, which is based on integrity and care."
Ndebele admitted, however, that the author of the request for the proposals "may have been a bit exuberant in adding the neck and shoulder massage, which is not essential and will be removed from the said tender".
However, the other elements are essential for well-being and are largely advisory in nature and/or a referral service.
He pointed out that employee stability within Sanral can be attributed, among other factors, to such services being available.
"This is evident in Sanral's attrition rate that is relatively small and the fact that it was voted as the Best Employer by the CRF Institute for three consecutive years, due to taking a holistic approach towards caring for its employees."
"The Honourable Member should also be informed that Sanral has suffered a scarcity of skills in the engineering and related fields, on which it depends to deliver on its mandate. Therefore, since Sanral competes for these skills with the private sector that offers benefits to its employees that Sanral are not able to provide, Sanral has to find other ways of attracting and retaining these skills.
"It is proven in research that ensuring good wellness for one's employee aided in reducing absenteeism and increased productivity," he said.
He told Alberts that the services were funded from non-toll allocations and represent 0.0067% of non-toll expenditure.
