Gauteng motorists would know on Friday how e-tolling would be put into practice.

.... we already know. It isn't going to be put into practice. So put that in your pipe and smoke it

Nincompoop

THIS ONE WILL GO DOWN TO THE WIRE WITH THE GOVERNMENT AND ANC. OUR BUDGETS WE ALREADY STRETCHED TO THE LAST PENNY AND MORE THAN 60% OF OUR INCOME GOES TO TAXES INCLUDING. CONSUMERS ARE REALLY ON A TIED ROPE AND IT'S SURVIVAL OF THE FITEST, OR RATHER WELL CONNECTED.
WE CONSUMERS MUST STAND TOGETHER AGAINST THESE E-TOLLS, AND CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE IS A POWERFUL MEANS TO DO JUST THAT. NO ONE SHOULD BUY E-TOLL TAGS OR REGISTER FOR E-TOLLS. WE NEED TO TEACH THIS GOVERNMENT THAT WE ARE NOT THEIR CASH COWS WHILST THEY SQUANDER OUR MONEY. ENOUGH NOW !!!

You know the petrol price increase we had today? 13c of it is for another government tax. This time to make up for any loss due to the price increase not coming through fast enough. Now they want ANOTHER tax out of me - like hell.

All I am saying is that government please put in place a reliable public transport, because as things are now people do not have a choice in using their cars. Especially from the South. We really cannot afford the petrol and the E-toll.

Seconded comrades, we must be not buy them! Why anyway was this court case taken to the Constitutional Court by Government instead of the Supreme Court of Apeal to oppose the Gauteng High Court Ruling on e-tolls? What is constitutional in imposing e-tolls to the working class? Thats a foul play by Government!!!

The energy department says the increases are partly due to a slate levy of 13.16 cents a litre. This levy is used to recover the monies owed to oil companies, due to the time delay in the adjustment of the petrol pump price.
