DA will ensure that David Makhura completely scraps the E-toll system
27 February 2018
The DA welcomes Gauteng Premier David Makhura’s admission that E-tolls are a failure and that he plans to engage with President Cyril Ramaphosa on this matter.
The DA has long been at the forefront in the battle against E-tolls and once again calls on the government to scrap this system.
The Premier admitted that E-tolls place a burden on citizens of the province which echoes the DA’s long-sustained view of the system.
Given the increase in the fuel levy, the increase in VAT as well as the knock-on effect E-tolls have on consumers, the perpetuation of this system will be the death knell for the poor and middle class who are the hardest hit by continued and sustained tax hikes.
