It is a relief to hear there is no dispute between the city of Cape Town and SANRAL regarding the implementation of new tolled sections of the N1 and N2 near the city. One presumes there have been adequate public participation and Environmental Impact Assessment processes to this point, considering the PPP process is already past BAFO stage after a nine-year development process.

Reports indicate that there are still bones of contention between the two and it will be interesting to see how this plays out over the coming months.
