Minister Peters confirms that the ANC is the party of job-killing E-tolls
25 July 2016
Transport Minister, Dipuo Peters, has come out in defence of E-tolls, following the DA’s expressed commitment to fight E-tolls in Johannesburg, Ekhurhuleni and Tshwane when we are given the opportunity to govern after the August 3Local Government Elections.
This is clear confirmation that the ANC is firmly in support of E-tolls, and does not care about the job-killing impact of E-tolls in Gauteng.
The DA will remain steadfast in exploring all legal remedies to ensure that that the tolling of our roads is done in a consultative manner and one that does not steal from Gauteng residents even further.
This comes after Minister Peters lashed out, arrogantly asserting that nothing can be done to remove E-tolls. However, the Minister must be reminded that where the DA governs in the Western Cape, we have successfully fought against E-tolls and we have won. We intend to do the same for the residents of Gauteng.
