E-tolling legislation approved

Expect several constitutional challenges to this bill in the near future! :D
 
So the fuel levy hikes were for what exactly? The two hikes combined would cover their proposed e-toll tariffs. Why is nobody calling them out on this?
 
An inflation-related fuel levy increase was always expected, so there was an additional 9c increase to the fuel levy, the proceeds of which Gordhan did not elaborate on. This excludes the 8c RAF levy increase which is separate.

The other issue is that Gautengers have been paying an additional fuel levy in order to finance a fuel pipe-line, which is now completed and paid up. Gordhan claims that there is relief for this in the new fuel levy for Gauteng however he doesn't quantify this, it is not transparent, and he omits to tell us that this figure is 0.15c. Yes, 15% of 1 cent. That is hardly relief and was just a PR tactic.

Another thing - 1/3rd of the existing fuel levy goes to the RAF, as per Gordhan's own statements, yet there is an additional RAF levy that forms a part of the costing of fuel. Why two?

"He rejected calls for e-tolling to be scrapped, saying the non-collection of tolls might impact negatively on the ability of the SA National Roads Agency Limited to raise capital for infrastructure development projects."

As if they not getting enough from current tolls.I want to see them fix some of the back roads in the Free State and North West.
 
Lots of brave keyboard warriors here. :rolleyes:

In real life they will follow the herd like the rest of us sheep just as soon as the government made an example of what happens to a few non-payers.
