Cosatu will stage a drive-slow protest against e-tolling in Ekurhuleni on Friday.<\/p>\n
The High Court in Johannesburg granted the Congress of SA Trade Unions (Cosatu<\/a>) an urgent interdict on Thursday allowing it to continue with the protest.<\/p>\n It went to court after the Ekurhuleni municipality and the police denied its request to protest.<\/p>\n Last Friday, a similar protest in Johannesburg had to be cancelled after the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court dismissed Cosatu’s application to protest on the city’s highways.<\/p>\n The Ekurhuleni protest would begin at Mbhoro Church, next to Huntersfield Stadium in Masakhane Street, at 7.30am on Friday.<\/p>\n Traffic on Heidelberg Road, the N3, N12, R24 and the R21 would be affected.<\/p>\n Last week, the National Council of Provinces passed the Transport and Related Matters Amendment Bill, paving the way for e-tolling to come into effect.<\/p>\n E-toll tariff reduction?
