e-toll Saga continues

E-TOLL SAGA CONTINUES...



We are almost approaching the end of April and the e-tolling system which was supposed to be effective by now is still on hold.  Motorists are still anti- e-tolls because this system will put financial strain on most people. On Wednesday the price of petrol increased with 71cents per litre, petrol will now cost R11.94. Motorists travelling from PTA- JHB and vice versa have to deal with the constant fuel increases as if this isn’t bad enough they now have to budget for E-toll payments.



Our national Government hasn’t been using correct communication methods to in form the public about  how the implementation of e-tolls will affect them.  Government is not willing to consider views and concerns which are being brought forward by motorists who travel on these routes where e-tolls are to be implemented.  It would put the public at ease if they where being kept informed regarding agreements and decisions which government intends to make.

Those who are affected by this are doing all they can to show government how seriously unhappy they are about the implementation of e-tolls. Drastic measures such as  Strikes, petitions and court applications to name a few have been done in order to put emphasize on how motorists feel about this matter. 

It is unfair when a nations Government tries to force an unjust and unfavored decision into being. Share your views regarding this matter.

  1. It is realy unfair to us people who work in JHB and have to pay these E-Tolls every month. But Public transport doesnt have to pay anything. The Government should rethink about this, they killing our economy.
