    Report Coverage

    This report focuses on the design, construction, operation, management and maintenance of roads and toll roads, and includes information on the state and size of the sector, infrastructure developments and budgets and influencing factors including coronavirus, policy, road conditions and the status of e-tolls. There are profiles of nine companies including Sanral and companies involved in tollgate operations such as Tolcon Group, Entilini Concession, Trans African Concessions and Electronic Toll Collection and N3 Toll Concession.

    Operation of Roads and Toll Roads in South Africa

    Roads systems form the backbone of South Africa’s socio-economic activities by facilitating the movement of people and goods. The road network is approximately 750,000km, the tenth longest road network in the world. Responsibility for these roads is split between national, provincial and municipal road authorities. Most of the national roads are paved and more than 80% of the provincial network consists of gravel roads.

    Infrastructure

    South Africa’s road maintenance backlog is growing steadily and is estimated at R197bn. Government has limited funds to meet the road maintenance requirements and expansion of the road network to handle the increased number of vehicles and rapidly-expanding towns and cities. The South African National Roads Agency (Sanral), which manages national roads, plans to spend R30bn on road construction projects, and 15 road-related projects valued at R47bn and estimated to create 50,000 jobs are among infrastructure projects gazetted in July 2020.

    Road Transport

    As much as 90% of goods moved in South Africa are transported by road. Heavy vehicles and overloading cause damage to the road surface, compounding the maintenance backlog and cost of road repairs. Poor road conditions increase transport costs. Efforts to move freight and passengers from road to rail will reduce transport costs, congestion and environmental impacts.

    Report Coverage

    The Operation of Roads and Toll Roads focuses on the current state of the sector and the challenges faced by Government and stakeholders. The report also profiles nine industry players, including Bakwena Platinum Corridor Concessionaire (Pty) Ltd, which employs 122 people in the management and operation of its two toll roads, and the country’s largest employer in the sector, toll operator Tolcon Group (Pty) Ltd, which employs approximately 1,000 people in Limpopo, North West, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape.

    Operation of Roads and Toll Roads

    This report reviews the operation of South Africa’s road network of 747,000 kilometres. Funding for non-national roads is provided from the country’s tax base while national roads are funded by the South African National Roads Agency (SANRAL), partly from the fiscus but also through self-acquired sources. Between 2010 and 2015, R75bn was budgeted by the Department of Transport (DoT) for road infrastructure, maintenance and upgrading with an additional R3bn budgeted for Expanded Public Works Programme access roads. The projected budget for 2015 to 2019 is R202bn.

    Government Responses to Challenging Conditions

    Toll roads are a response to South Africa’s need for an improved road system to expand the economy and to meet increased demands on existing infrastructure. During the 2013/14 reporting period, SANRAL spent R1.9bn on operating costs for about 1,857km of toll roads and capital expenditure of R1.1bn. SANRAL also introduced the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP), known as e-tolling, to upgrade and improve the national highways in Gauteng and introduced an Intelligent Transport System (ITS) consisting of cameras, electronic notice boards and other traffic management features. However e-tolling has caused widespread debate and civil disobedience under the banner of Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance (OUTA), with the main objections relating to lack of transparency, cost and other better solutions available to Government. Ways of resolving the road maintenance backlog are the focus of the National Transport Masterplan (NATMAP) 2050. This recognises the poor state of roads, the fact that traffic growth has outstripped road extensions, and the contribution of heavy vehicle overloading to the poor conditions of many roads, all of which contribute to poor road safety in the country.
