Gauteng balancing finances, as first e-tolls debt due

It is a balancing act as Gauteng Provincial Treasury (GPT) works to prevent bankruptcy, pay down e-toll debt, mitigate an underperforming department, and work within a drastically reduced budget. Speaking to media during a roundtable on Wednesday to discuss the finances of South Africa’s most populous province, Gauteng Finance and Economic Development MEC Lebogang Maile assured that the finances were in good hands and GPT had it under control, with work being undertaken to arrest and mitigate any decline.
