Introduction
In the most recent surveys it has been proven that the quality of road maintenance in South Africa is far having implications. The Department of Transport plays a significant role on ensuring proper roads for the country. The project that have been introduced in the country, which is e-tolling as the way of ensuring stability have shown to be the better way of improving the country’s economy. The e-tolling is the newly established system in South Africa that consists of gantries currently installed in Gauteng highways. The gantries charge road users by electronically identifying the number plate of each and every vehicle that drive through them (Toll free, 2011). However the problems arise where significant information is not undertaken or right mechanisms are not in place for the proper implementation of such project. The most evidence is on Sanral’s (South African National Roads Agency Limited) introduction of its project, where the project was seen as an alternative way of refunding the money that was used to improve the highways and maintaining the countries stability. However, Sanral’s wishes were never successful due to the lack of integration and following the appropriate procedures. Thus, this paper will firstly look at what the government should have done in the inception stage to unsure that the project runs smoothly. Secondly it will outline where Sanral has fallen short of not being able to deliver this project. And lastly it will discuss how the system will positively impact the supply chain processes of industries and government.
QUESTION ONE
What Government should have done at the inception stage?
The government has an impact on the failure of the E-tolling system to run smoothly, since he failed to follow the right procedures of implementing the system from the very beginning of the process. At the initial stage the government should have sat down with the members of the parliament, debated in an accountable and transparent
