Government has revealed 27 of the 33 sub-contractors working with the Electronic Toll Consortium (ETC<\/a>), the core contractor appointed by SANRAL<\/a> to roll out Gauteng’s e-toll project.<\/p>\n

The list contains the names of some major tech and telecoms companies, such as Vodacom<\/a>, Neotel<\/a>, Internet Solutions<\/a> and Gijima<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the interest of transparency surrounding the controversial project, the DA<\/a> and other interested parties, such as OUTA<\/a>, have been calling for the names of the companies to be made public.<\/p>\n

SANRAL and ETC\u00a0initially\u00a0refused to identify the names on the list.<\/p>\n

In a statement on the DA website, Ian Ollis<\/a>, shadow minister of transport said that making the names public was “a step in the right direction”.<\/p>\n

He said further that the DA would “scrutinise these names and look closely for any political connections that may have influenced the appointment of these subcontractors”.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a breakfast hosted by The New Age in Cape Town (16 August 2012), transport minister, Ben Martins<\/a> acknowledged the lack of transparency in the first phase of the e-tolling project, and committed himself to making all relevant information available in future.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has to be transparency. There has to be information,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The e-toll list<\/strong><\/p>\n

In making the list of sub-contractors public, Martins emphasised that “SANRAL has one contractor to whom it looks to for performance under this contract, namely Electronic Toll Collection (ETC).”<\/p>\n

He highlighted that, although ETC may have subcontracted part of the work, it is solely ETC that is accountable to SANRAL, and that SANRAL has no contractual relationship with the sub-contractors.<\/p>\n

“SANRAL has one contractor to whom it looks to for performance under this Contract and has no contract with the subcontractors,” he said.<\/p>\n

The revealed list of sub-contractors is as follows:<\/p>\n
