Bongani Bingwa speaks to Wayne Duvenage, CEO of the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA), to unpack the renewed controversy around Gauteng’s E-toll legacy, a saga that refuses to fade quietly. Years after motorists were promised relief, the billion-rand bill is back on the table and citizens are once again asking: Where is the money coming from, and who is being held accountable?With limited communication from government and no clear funding plan in sight, concerns grow over financial mismanagement, public trust, and a system that has burdened taxpayers for over a decade. OUTA warns that without real transparency, South Africans may continue to pay for a policy failure few ever supported in the first place.
