South Africa’s Secret Toll Profits

[Phillip Coetser]

While toll fees on major South African highways have increased substantially over the past few years, the profits of the private companies maintaining these routes are a closely guarded secret.
Although highways like the N1, N3, and N4 are owned by the taxpayer-funded South African National Roads Agency (Sanral), large sections are maintained, upgraded, and operated by private concessionaires.
The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) is concerned that concessionaires have started making substantially more money due to the huge amount of freight transportation moving from rail to road.

With this in mind, the cost of petrol is set to increase once again this March, with prices showing no sign of coming down anytime soon.
Motorists will have to think twice nowadays, before making a leisure trip, because it's becoming a daunting prospect for many families.
