#ScrapEtollsNow: Government making criminals out of honest citizens
4 April 2019
Today I created a bonfire outside the South African National Road Agency’s ( Sanral) offices in Rooihuiskraal in Centurion with hundreds of Gauteng residents’ e-toll statements.
The DA received these e-toll statements from overburdened Gauteng residents who cannot afford to pay for e-tolls.
It is despicable that government is making criminals out of these hard-working, tax-paying citizens.
A week ago, Sanral announced that they will no longer be issuing summonses to people who have defaulted on their e-tolls. But this reprieve was short lived - Finance Minister, Tito Mboweni then said that Sanral must review this decision.
