Sanral's management of some provincial roads ensures lower costs for users – Creecy

Road users are benefiting from lower fuel and vehicle maintenance costs, as well as lower costs for the repair or replacement of vehicle parts and cargo damaged while driving on provincial roads that have not been adequately maintained. These economic benefits stem from the transfer of certain provincial roads to State-owned South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) and "far exceed" the investment costs incurred on those roads, Transport Minister Barbara Creecy has noted in a response to a question in the National Council of Provinces on September 13 about the financial implications of transferring provincial roads to Sanral.
