E-tolls will go ahead

[2026]

Because some don't have a choice (company car, rental, etc). You're advocating being a dick to a victim. Let the e-tag be its own punishment. Not giving a gap to an oke with an e-tag would be a poor reflection on yourself and if s/he was a tourist, they'd remember the "friendly" road welcome they received.

Just saying...

This pretty much sums up my reasons too

"100km/h" but driving on fastlane at a speed of 180km/h

I wish. I've only seen taxi's drive 100 in the fast lane.

only if KM is elected.

Ja, heaven forbid the ANC have somebody with an IQ greater than Forrest Gump in charge of the party!

I want to show you something, Mrs Zuma. Now, this is normal. Zuma is right here. The state requires a minimum I.Q. of eighty to attend parliament, Mrs Zuma. He's going to have to join a special political party.

Reading the comments on News24 (yeah i know it's a bottomless hole of negativity and racism) I see how the people are saying they will stand up and oppose this, that they will do something about it. Wonder how many of them will climb out of the Q7 or TT or M5 and actually do something about it?

The UK's not known for civil unrest but Margaret Thatcher achieved it with her pet "stealth tax":

The unpopularity of the poll tax took a lot of people by surprise. It usually takes quite a lot to get the British protesting out in the streets but taxes is one of those issues that strikes a chord with everybody. The protests quickly became a national issue with large-scale riots in London and a non-payment campaign. By 1991 several million people hadn’t paid and as a result VAT had to be put up by two and a half per cent, a decision that remains with us to this day.

For VAT substitute the petrol levy, I'd like to think the folk in Gauteng have similar sized cojones.

****..

This is South Africa, nothing more will be done, we will be forced to pay and I bet most will go buy the tags.
We never stand together.
Got to give it to black SA, they know how to stand together however I still think this toll stuff will only really affect the "middle" class.
Taxi's are exempt so.......
Get ready to be raped yet again

 

[DJ...]

Why not ? If WE as the people of gauteng want to fight this, how can we allow people to support these corrupt ***kers ?

I bet you'd bitch about political intimidation. What you're proposing is absolutely no different...

NOT buying an e-tag, I'd rather find alternative routes between Joburg and Pretoria!
