President of the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (NAAMSA) – Mr David Powels tuned Minister of Finance, Mr Pravin Gordhan, to use the fuel levy, not the second oldest industry, to pay for the linear parking lots often referred to as "freeways" in the Gauteng province.
"Whilst welcoming the appropriation of R5.8 billion designed to reduce the debt associated with the project and the associated possible reduction in toll charges, the Automotive Industry would have preferred to see freeway improvement programmes being financed through an administratively more efficient and less costly fuel levy." stated the motoring president Powell.
