The Freedom Front Plus has made a last minute attempt to try and stop the implementation of e-tolling.<\/p>\n
“The FF Plus’s court application for an interdict against the switching on of the e-toll system will be heard on December 2 in the High Court in Pretoria, a day before the system is to be switched on,” spokesman Anton Alberts said in a statement on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Alberts was confident of victory, saying the state had made critical technical errors with the announcement of the implementation date of e-tolls.<\/p>\n
“In terms of the Sanral Act, there has to be a 14-day difference between the date on which the commencement of the e-toll is announced, and the date on which the actual implementation of the system will take effect.”<\/p>\n
In effect, he said the system was only meant to start operating on December 4, and not December 3.<\/p>\n
“The FF Plus, its partners and its legal team are all convinced that the interdict will be granted and that we will achieve a victory for all road users who are of the opinion that the e-toll is an unfair and unnecessary form of tax,” said Alberts.<\/p>\n
