The premier candidate admits his own e-toll bill is R20,900 and pleads with government to stop the e-toll system.
The government must not turn South African tax-paying citizens into criminals for a system they imposed on them, said Democratic Alliance Gauteng Premier Solly Msimanga while feeding a bonfire with hundreds of e-toll invoices outside the South African National Roads Agency offices in Centurion on Thursday.
He questioned why 80% of the money paid for tolls was not staying in the country. “Why is this money going to an Austrian company?” Should Makhura and Ramaphosa not respond to the seven-day deadline, Msimanga said it would be a clear indication that the ANC government were merely using electioneering tactics in campaigning and Sanral’s halt of persuing e-tolls from motorists would continue after the May elections.
