Vadi aiming for Gauteng Transport Authority deal ahead of August elections

The Gauteng government hopes to sign an in-principle agreement with Gauteng’s three major municipalities – Ekurhuleni, Tshwane and Johannesburg – on the formation of a Gauteng Transport Authority (GTA) before the local elections, to be held on August 3, says Gauteng Roads and Transport MEC Dr Ismail Vadi. Vadi and his department are also in discussion with the national Department of Transport on the legislation required to allow the formation of a GTA.
