Sorry, source is from the FF's e-mail distribution list.

Why are you on there?

Why are you on there?

I have hundreds of news sources!
I am a news junkie!

But that one is really only for e-tolling news... and that's pretty much all they have used it for in the past three years.

Soooo... any news when SANRAL will be turning this thing on? Last time I had a good read it was "ready to go". Now they have the law signed, why aren't they rolling out? (or have a missed an article that gives the starting date?)

Because it's not ready to go and it hasn't ever been. SANRAL have just been caught unprepared and in a lie once more.

Our esteemed minister of transport reckons they need a month to get their ducks in a row, so that means sometime in November.

Just before bonus time for government ministers

 

[Sinbad]

Nah. They'll start it in December. Christmas present for Gauteng, because remember the people WANT it!

The minister said that it could be ready within one month.
She didn't say it would be rolled out within a month.

Picky

actually I don't see a could in this sentence

Peters says a launch date will be announced once everything is finalised.

“I believe that we need less than a month to get our ducks in a row and make sure that we start implementing.”

Yeah, maybe they be even more festive and spend (our tax payers') money on some nice xmas lights to hang on the gantries.

Anyone been able to get hold of that SANRAL / ANC billboard picture close to Rand Airport (heard on 702 that someone put up a billboard along the lines "eToll - thank the ANC")

Wonder how long that will stay up before soemthing 'illegal' is found about it. Thumbs up for whoever ot was.

Possibly preempting but the company that owns the advertising structure will probably get a call. Should be quite interesting if it is Primedia. They've carried SANRAL adverts and tried to play both sides - it's a revenue thing which in no way impacts on their views on etolling.

If they take this down, then they should be refusing to flight SANRAL adverts too.

But, as I said, probably preempting.

Hehe. It can be argued that it is freedom of speech. So, I suspect a court interdict will be required to remove it.
