"First, our position has not changed on e-tolls. It was not for elections, the e-tolls have no future in Gauteng. It was not for elections, they have no future, it is something we believe in," said Makhura to loud cheers and applause.

"But you know the truth, this matter is in the hands of national government. Me and the minister of transport have been talking about how to take forward the work of the president on the e-tolls and there is going to be significant movement on this matter.Makhura said his government was ready to take the bullet for non-paying motorists, a majority of whom have rejected and resisted paying for e-tolls.

"We as the provincial government, we are prepared to put some money where our mouth is. We are prepared to contribute some money in order to deal with the debt to show how serious we are on this matter," he said.
