The Government is going full steam ahead with their e-toll plans, after the Supreme Court of Appeal dismissed the Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance’s (Outa) bid to stop the controversial multibillion Rand e-tolling project.
“At this point we are not in a panic that people are going to be rebelling,” said acting cabinet spokeswoman Phumla Williams.
Well, Phumla, that was before you dropped the bomb that visitors to Gauteng will be slapped with a R50 day pass for using the highways.
Sanral says visitors better get an e-tag when they arrive – by either phoning them or visiting the website. Sure, that’s definitely going to happen.
For a category A1 vehicle (a motorbike), a day pass will cost R30, for a sedan R50, for small heavy-motor vehicles R125 and trucks R250.
For those who want to visit Gauteng from other provinces, Sanral will ask you to buy a day pass online, and then go to Sanral in Gauteng to fetch it. Just don’t get stopped by cops on your way to Sanral.
If you want to understand precisely why e-tolls are a bunch of nonsense, watch this brilliant video.
