Last day to add your voice against new e-toll legislation

AfriForum on Monday added its voice to that of numerous other organisations such as the Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance (OUTA) in criticising the proposed changes to e-toll legislation published in the government gazette of 7 December 2015.

AfriForum also encouraged its members to comment on the proposed changes, Henk Maree, national spokesperson for the organisation, said in a statement.

• Non-payment of e-tolls as a traffic violation is slammed

“The notice in the gazette states that people who do not pay their toll fees are violating traffic legislation. This is nothing more than a conniving plan hatched by government in a bid to save the failed e-toll project through the abuse of legislation,” he said.

AfriForum encourages its members to comment on the proposed legislation before 6 January by using the following link: https://www.outa.co.za/site/comment-on-recently-proposed-amendment-of-the-aarto-act-and-regulations/. The link was provided by OUTA.

AfriForum is still prepared to support any member if SANRAL should sue the member for payment of his outstanding e-toll fees.
