More confusion.......
Modise’s comments will add to the widespread confusion that already exists over the scrapping of e-tolls on the GFIP.
Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) CEO Wayne Duvenage said any thoughts National Treasury has of Gauteng chasing motorists for their e-toll debt will be “quickly squashed, and there’s no ways it will happen because of the elections”.
The Gauteng Provincial Government still plans to collect the e-toll debt from motorists.
Mampho Modise, deputy director-general of public finance at National Treasury, confirmed this in an interview with Moneyweb last week, saying that the treasury had to look at the existing e-toll debt, and “Gauteng has agreed that that debt should and will be collected”

JOHANNESBURG - The 31st of March is meant to be the day e-tolls are switched off.
But government and Sanral now seem to be driving in opposite directions.
In his SOPA, Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi promised R12-billion would be paid to settle the debt.
Drivers are now wondering if they should continue paying or tag out.
OUTA's Wayne Duvenage says stop, and if they come for you, let OUTA know.
"If I was somebody who had not paid, not worry about it at all," he said.
"If you get a summons, let us know at OUTA. We'll help you with the process."
