Outa warns government could hijack fuel price decrease to pay for e-tolls

Big petrol price drop could be hijacked with e-toll levy

The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) worries that finance minister Enoch Godongwana will use an expected fuel price drop in September as an opportunity to squeeze in a levy to replace Gauteng's e-tolls.

Outa warned that Godongwana might increase the fuel levy by 25-30 cents per litre to cover the Gauteng freeway improvement bonds, something the e-toll "debacle" failed to do.

These okes are asking for major public protests.
They ain't seen nuthing yet....

 

[Gabe Owner]

I'm okay with the whole country paying. Thanks guys.

I'm okay with the whole country paying. Thanks guys.

Only if there are no unreasonable overheads and/or corruption.

As long as the Cape Townians dont have to pay for the Gauteng petrol price increase, then I would say. Go ahead.

But if you want the entire country to pay because youre corrupt officials pilfered all the money for improving Gauteng roads, then now want us to cover for it. Then honestly. GOOD LUCK

Pretoria should pay for it. What do they want in Joburg anyways? We don’t even sell those two-tone safari shirts that they like.

So if I live 1000km away from gauteng, will I also pay the etoll fees even if I never go to there?

As usual the rodent infested cANCer never miss an opportunity to rape and pilfer. Useless cnuts

i've been getting away with it for 7 years now, so maybe you can just cut that portion out of what you pay at the pumps.

 

[ToxicBunny]

I reckon the WC and KZN secede and then just gauteng and those other empty places can pay for this

 

[Gazg]

Seems like the only and easiest way to rape motorists even more, to pay for poor decisions, theft and corruption. Imagine the amount extra that this useless Government will pull in! On top of that, they will still cry they haven't got enough money!!

So if I live 1000km away from gauteng, will I also pay the etoll fees even if I never go to there?

Well if it's added to the general fuel levy, then yes

Yes you will, just like we in Gauteng pay for roads and other shít in your province.

We will all suffer together Wakanda Forever!

All of you voted for them

 

[SubtleBeast]

Nope...we just can't win...can we?

As long as the people in the Freestate, Limpopo, NW, Eastern Cape, etc etc dont have to pay, then I would say. Go ahead.

IIRC, a 10c/l for 8 years would have paid off the inflated/corrupt etolls construction bill.
Now they want 30c/l with no time limit.
They can F*** Off.

EDIT:
Before you ask, I'll charge on from home solar.
