"The DA uses e-tolling as a trump card to entice voters because they are divided on issues of leadership, equity and BBBEE [broad-based black economic empowerment]."
The DA's unveiling of billboards on e-tolls was a destructive campaign, the ANC in Gauteng said on Thursday.
"It is clear that the Democratic Alliance and [its] inexperienced candidate [Mmusi] Maimane do not have policies and issues that can convince voters," African National Congress spokesman Dumisa Ntuli said in a statement.
"The DA uses e-tolling as a trump card to entice voters because they are divided on issues of leadership, equity and BBBEE [broad-based black economic empowerment]."
He said this type of campaigning would not deter voters from voting for the ANC, because it had done a lot for the people of Gauteng.
The Democratic Alliance unveiled a new billboard against e-tolls on the N3 highway in Germiston on Thursday.
The blue and white billboard states: "A vote for the DA is a vote against e-tolls."
DA spokesman Maimane said it formed part of an intensive campaign to mobilise Gauteng voters against the government which imposed e-tolls.
"We urge motorists to vote for the DA to put a stop to this daylight robbery," he said.
Earlier this year, the DA commissioned anti-e-toll billboards on the N3 and N1 highways, which derided ANC and its role in the e-tolling saga.
Nthuli said: "The DA is just pulling wool over people's eyes that the e-tolls are bad."
He said the ANC in Gauteng fully supported the e-tolling system because it would improve road infrastructure.
