If you reside in gauteng then this is the cause to support. Made a donation last time and will do do it again, with a smile
How can we donate? If memory serves, there's a website or something where you can go to make your contribution?
The website is here.... http://www.outa.co.za/site/legal-fund/
Given several thousand rand already... this is a very worthy cause.
Will give more after payday on the 25th.
Trying to convince my company to also give some.
Even if they win the court case, the money will be used to fight other stupid tolling projects or a suitable charity. Win/Win scenario!
they should set up a sms donation number (where mone comes of your airtime), can think of quite a few people that have airtime to get rid off and will be happy to donate it to OutaOriginally Posted by Garyvdh

Some times the internet is so slow, it would be faster to just fly to Google's headquarters and ask them this $h1t in person.!
They did have an SMS donation system at first, but they canceled it because the service Providers ended up taking most of the money. It wasn't really worth it.

In response to the suggestion of OUTA introducing a SMS option to their fund raising campaign, we inform our supporters that we used to have a SMS fund raising campaign, but in June we took the decision to discontinue this as it was being counter-productive to the campaign. Too much of the revenue was lost to agent and admin costs (around 40%) and the required levels of funding through this channel were just too low. For instance, a R20 SMS campaign only generated R11.50 for OUTA and would need hundreds of thousands of contributors to achieve our target. Research also showed that a R50 or higher SMS campaign would not work and again, we would lose too much of the supporters contribution. R11 per person was simply counter productive.
What is required is a higher yield support from the contributors, eg. R250 or R500 (i.e. their first moths e-toll savings). A lower hit rate with higher yields will have a significantly better result, thus we now only offer contributions via direct EFT into the ABSA bank account, or through the “PayFast” option, as listed on the OUTA web site. We realise this may unfortunately alienate some supporters who can only contribute by SMS, but this was a hard decision which we had to make.
Your support is much appreciated.

It's not rocket science to donate via EFT, people must stop being lazy and complacent, just take a few minutes to do the EFT via Internet/Cellphone/Telephone Banking and repeat with even less effort next month and the month after that.
Come on people, support OUTA, this is your chance to squash the blood sucking cANCer tick's plans to suck you dry every month.
Good to know that the SMS fund raising mechanism was cancelled.
Maybe they should market their donation campaign more agressively...
Do they have a facebook page ? Twitter ?
Get an online petition and mail out to everybody concerned...
A lot of folks don't even know how important this is ...
Dude, I dunno which rock you have been living under, but it's been in the newspapers and on the radio. The guy, Wayne Duvenage is pretty much a celebrity now. They interview him fairly regularly on 702. I've heard him there a few times.
Their facebook page is...

Tolling here pending the schit going down in jozi....
The delay in implementation in jozi has resulted in the rest of the country waiting anxiously...
This courtroom battle could go on for a while...
The govt really doesn't mind wasting money in legal fees...we have seen that enough times lately ..
Very true, government has a virtually unlimited source of funds (our tax money), however this is one time when government is in a rush and wants etolling pushed through urgently so the pocket lining and corruption can resume.
Gautengers simply need to provide the funds that will allow OUTA to use Telkom delaying tactics until such time as government realizes that we are determined not to pay etolls. Ideally OUTA could do with financial support from other provinces but it's not just up to individuals I suspect most of the funding so far has been from corporates across several provinces that would be severely affected by etolling in Gauteng alone.
Pity about the SMS issue. Oh well, guess eft will do.
I'll EFT some cash to them after pay-day!
