                          South Coast toll is a 'non-issue'  
                          June 23, 2006

                          By Bheko Madlala

                          Kwazulu-Natal Minister of Transport Bheki Cele has sent the clearest message yet that the provincial government is against the proposed N2 Wild Coast toll highway planned to start at Amanzimtoti on the South Coast.

                          Addressing the provincial legislature in Pietermaritzburg yesterday, Cele said the question of the toll gate was a "non-issue".

                          Cele said this in response to a question which had been asked by provincial African Christian Democratic Party MP Jo Anne Downs about the provincial government's stance on the plan.

                          This came against the backdrop of a groundswell of opposition to the plan which became evident at a recent meeting of residents of Amanzimtoti, which was called by the South African Roads Agency Limited and was held at the town's civic centre.

                          In mounting the spirited opposition to the move, hundreds of people who attended the meeting vowed to fight the move to the hilt, with some saying that they are even prepared to take the matter to the highest court in the land, the Constitutional Court, if necessary.  

                          The meeting was part of 130 public hearings which have been held regarding a new environmental impact assessment on the project.

                          The residents, many of whom are members of the Upper South Coast Anti Toll Alliance, expressed various concerns, including the increased costs of getting to and from work in Prospecton and Durban, and the impact on people in lower income brackets.

                          According to the plan, motorists travelling towards the South Coast would encounter a toll plaza at Isipingo and three ramp plazas in the area - Joyner Road, Moss Kolnik Road and Adams Road.

                          The proposed highway will cover 560km between the N2 Gonubie interchange, near East London, and Isipingo. Responding to Downs's question, Cele said: "People should rest assured. We have said it time and again that this is a non-issue."
