OUTA will not appeal e-toll judgment

The Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance will not appeal the Supreme Court of Appeal's (SCA) dismissal of its challenge to e-tolls, chairman Wayne Duvenage said on Friday.

"Outa will not appeal the judgment," he announced in Johannesburg.

"Outa is constrained by shortages of funds. We denounce the e-tolls."

To appeal, Outa would need R3.3 million and could no longer afford to appeal, he said.

On October 9, the SCA dismissed Outa's challenge against e-tolls.

Duvenage said the alliance needed R1.5 million to take the matter to the Constitutional Court.

All drivers will pay e-tolls in Gauteng

Drivers from around the country will have to pay to use e-tolled roads in Gauteng, Sanral said on Friday.

SA National Roads Agency Ltd (Sanral) spokesman Vusi Mona said motorists visiting Gauteng could pay within seven days without registering an e-toll account, or register an account, or purchase a day pass.

"If a road-user does not want to register an e-toll account or purchase a day pass, the e-toll fees may be paid at an e-toll customer service centre by calling the e-toll call centre... or online," he said.

"In this case it will be required that the road user provide his vehicle licence plate number."

The "occasional road user" could buy the day pass from Sanral's website by calling it or visiting a service centre.

"Please note that a day pass cannot be obtained from a retailer," Mona said.

It was reported on Friday that motorists could buy the day pass from retailers like Shoprite, Pick n Pay, or Spar.

For motorcycle riders a day pass would cost R30, for car drivers R50, small heavy vehicles R125, and large heavy vehicles R250.

The Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance (Outa) said on Friday it would not appeal the Supreme Court of Appeal's (SCA) dismissal of its challenge to e-tolls because it could not afford it.

The SCA dismissed Outa's challenge against e-tolls on October 9.

The government can use our tax money to fight us, but we get no help fighting them.

So Say I visit Gauteng twice a month... but just for 1 day at a time.. I can only buy day passes for half my years trips to Gauteng...

A day after OUTA reluctantly falls on its sword, Ali and Sanral release this gem out to all other South Africans that they 2 are going to be plundered.

Wait, now that there seems to be no obstacle in front of Sanral expect much much more of this to come.

Um, there is still one major obstacle.

3 Million road users who have no plans whatsoever to comply with this circus.

Johannesburg - South Africa's poor and middle class should support the e-toll system so that the country does not default on its finances, the ANCYL national task team said on Friday.

“We call upon the public to comply with e-toll plans so that the state does not default,” ANC Youth League leader Mzwandile Masina told reporters in Johannesburg.

Public and scholar transport were exempt from tolls, Masina said.

“We are concerned about the middle class. We have been guaranteed (by the SA National Roads Agency Ltd) that the rates are now lower.

“We will keep looking into lowering rates and off-setting costs as we continuously engage with Sanral.” - Sapa

We will see Gary.
If you take all the municipal and gov vehicles, they will all be tagged and pay the toll, with your/our/the publics money anyway, so the system already gets a boost.

I sincerely hope private citizens (the majority of road users) have the resolve to say 'up yours Sanral'.
Business vehicles will all be tagged, they can't hide, the likes of trucking companies, fleet vehicles, rentals etc.
It is a significant amount of vehicles all added up.

I still want to see if the ANC has the balls to make this all live before the elections, despite all the posturing about it being live before the end of the year.
