Anti e-tolling website launched

Following the outrage against the e-tolling of Gauteng’s freeways, an alliance has been formed to oppose the implementation of e-tolling in Gauteng. The new initiative is called OUTA (Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance).

“Numerous organisations have been strongly opposing the e-toll program from various channels, yet a unified platform has been lacking to share and combine the efforts of business,” OUTA said in a press statement.

“The launch of OUTA (Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance) will be this platform and will provide a united front which will lend significant support to the cause.”

OUTA has launched a website (hosted at outa.co.za) which the organisation says is “a concise informative portal and one that also allows organisations to sign up and display their support accordingly.”

“While there are a number of electronic petitions and web sites denouncing e-tolling in Gauteng (and these are all very necessary in their respective efforts), the OUTA platform is one that will provide clarity around the misleading and ambiguous statements and questions about e-tolling,” said OUTA.
