There is no alternative route over Chappies.

You either pay or don't get over the pass.

Just out of interest...Cape Town being under DA controll and the WC also being DA run...do they have control over tolls being put into place or is that SANRAL (which I would say is ANC run)?

SANRAL are under national government so the DA doesn't have much of a say. They did threaten legal action when SANRAL tried to bully through with their tolling plans in the WC, and thus far those plans have been shelved due to the mess in GP. It is better to have support of the provincial government in which you operate.
