SA business apathetic towards e-tolls

South African companies do not have a corporate stance on e-tolling in Gauteng, leaving their employees to foot their own bills.

“We are by no means saying the complaints received are not important and should not be dealt with; we are simply saying that it is misleading to say the system is not working.”

If by "dealt with", SCAMRAL means sending threatening and abusive SMSes and email messages, then I agree that SCAMRAL is dealing with people that dare to complain about incorrect billing and an etrolling system that has a significant number of serious design and implementation faults.

And a bit o/t, SCAMRAL is creating unsafe night-time road conditions by failing to maintain the lights along the highway.

A finer example of how SA employers feel about their "slaves" has never been given

I've been saying this all along.

Why should corporates give a stuff when they will just pass e-tolling fees on to their customers/clients/employees

If corporate SA stood alongside the citizens of SA in protest, we'd have a much stronger position in fighting SCAMRAL

Admittedly it is more difficult for them to put their heads above the parapet. They'll become targets much easier than anonymous non-compliant road-users.

Not really. One of my clients (big company - several thousand employees) actually can't reimburse their employees because they get copy invoices, which they can't use to claim VAT, etc. The CFO contacted SANRAL regarding this and SANRAL shrugged him off, so until such a point that SANRAL comes to the party, the company simply won't pay.

sure, but surely if companies all stood together it would be much harder for government to snipe at them? If other corporates stood with FNB and their campaign last year, would government and the ANC have been able to apply as much pressure as they did?

Definitely. I wish they had more backbone.

It would be nice if a significant number of companies opposed etrolling, but companies don't have a constitutionally enshrined right to vote in elections.

However, companies that have previously donated money to the cANCer party, could and should be showing their opposition to etrolling by not donating any money to the cANCer party.

Pink elephants will probably be flying business class on the backs of pigs before that happens.
