GAUTENG TOLL FEES AN ELECTION ISSUE

The Democratic Alliance notes COSATU's intention to strike over the proposed Gauteng highway toll fees, but the best protest will be a vote against the ANC in tomorrow's elections.

The highway toll plan has everything that voters should reject - poor planning, lack of consultation, withholding of vital information and possible corruption.

If high toll fees go ahead, it will raise the cost of virtually everything and make it more difficult to create jobs.

It is very clear that a report back on the toll fees is being delayed until after the election because it is politically explosive.

Elections are the ideal way to hold politicians accountable for their mistakes.

So vote for the party that will govern best in the interests of everyone.

Statement issued by Jack Bloom MPL, DA Gauteng Caucus Leader, May 17 2011
