[Chevron]

I will not register for this bullcrap. Don't care what they say or do.

They can go shove their etags where the sun doesnt shine.

I ain't parting with my hard-earned cash until I absolutely have to. I think the this whole thing stinks, especially that the operation of the auto-tolling costs almost as much as it did to redo the roads

The problem is that without the e-tag, they'll screw you for a lot more in the end :-(

But agreed, who the hell is going to register now, when there is still so much uncertainty?

I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way
now now Why don't you get a job
Say no way, say no way ya, no way
now now Why don't you get a job!

Some good lines from The Offspring back in the day - I WONT PAY!!!!!

A small price to pay to clog up their system with paperwork, forcing them to use the postal service etc. to make them sit up & listen to the ones paying their salary.

Don't you just love the smell of civil disobedience in the morning?

I don't think anyone is going to register just yet, with the toll review deadline only in Feb.

I'm guessing that the "e" in e-tag and e-toll stands for extortion?

What happens if you already have a bakwena etag in your car linked to your credit card? Will you suddenly be billed by driving through those cameras with the blue lights on the highway? Cos then I'm switching to cash again

Doubt it...

either they are separate systems and they will ignore the other eTag or they are the same system and you can just use the one etag.

FARK 'EM!
They can send me a bill every month and I will dispute each and every item on the account.... if many do this, let's see how good they and the cretins in the post office handle the task...

Bakwena e-tag holders do not need a new e-tag, as it will work on the Gauteng e-toll system once system once operational. However, these users will need to re-register their account details with SANRAL. Initially newly registered Gauteng e-toll account holders will unable to make use of Bakwena’s e-tag lanes. Road users will be informed, when they can use the e-tag, issued as part of the GFIP e-toll network at the Bakwena e-tag lanes.

You have to register for etoll even though you can use the same tag.
