The Gauteng Provincial Government is set to spend R 157 million over the next three years setting up the Gauteng Transport Authority, including a further R20 million allocation in the 2020/2021 financial year to support the taxi industry.
This was announced by Gauteng MEC for Finance and e-Government Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko when she tabled her budget speech at the Gauteng legislature on Thursday.
“In order to give effect to the Premier David Makhura’s announcement on the Gauteng Transport Authority and its immediate focus on implementing all the plans developed in the past decade, as well as support for the taxi industry, a total of R 157 million will be allocated over the 2020 MTEF,” said Nkomo-Ralehoko.
She also announced that a once-off amount of R20 million will be allocated for the implementation of online renewal of vehicle licenses.
