The Democratic Alliance is calling on the South African National Roads Agency Limited to disclose the names of all 33 sub-contractors involved in the collection of e-tolls on Gauteng highways.

This comes after disturbing reports about African National Congress links to companies that will benefit from the e-tolling.

The opposition party has already asked Public Protector Thuli Madonsela to investigate the controversial Gauteng e-toll collection contracts.

 

Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir says he will not allow conflict with South Sudan to overshadow "strategic relations" with its people.

Bashir vowed to free the South's citizens from the ruling Sudan People's Liberation Movement whom he called "insects".

Conflict between the two countries has prompted the UN Security Council to pass a resolution threatening sanctions if they did not follow an African Union roadmap to stop fighting and return to talks.

 

IFP leader Mangosuthu Buthelezi says the late Public Service and Administration Minister Roy Padayachie was a loyal, competent and dedicated servant of the people of South Africa.

Padayachie, 62, was found dead by a colleague on Friday night in his Addis Ababa hotel room. He had been attending a meeting of the African Peer Review Mechanism.

KwaZulu-Natal Premier Zweli Mkhize said Padayachie was a leader, a community activist and struggle stalwart.

 

Also making headlines:

United Nations ceasefire monitors in the Syrian town of Douma say the army has not withdrawn tanks in line with a truce agreement.

And, newly elected French President Francois Hollande faces a short honeymoon, as financial markets are eager for clear signals on his policies.

That’s a round up of news making headlines today.
