Sanrals New Policy Sparks Controversy: Roadside Businesses Fight Back
South Africas National Roads Agency, Sanral, is facing backlash over a new policy allowing them to control private land next to highways, set business rules, and charge levies. This comes after their failed e-tolls project, which was seen as an extra tax. Roadside business owners argue Sanral is overstepping, turning public service into a revenue boost. Critics suspect its about increasing revenue, especially for electric vehicle charging stations. Toll costs are rising, making trips more expensive. Sanral should heed the backlash to avoid another wave of resistance.
