EFF calls for e-toll boycott
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) on Friday rejected Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula’s call for motorists to pay e-tolls, calling on a “continued, resolute and united public action of boycott” against e-tolls.
EFF spokesperson Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi said e-tolls should be boycotted until government found an alternative solution to making ordinary citizens pay for the widely rejected system.
“The people already pay for water, electricity and ever increasing petrol prices. Why must government impose on them another tariff that came out of the greed and corrupt interests of politicians? E-tolls must fall,” he said.
Ndlozi criticised Gauteng Premier David Makhura for making several empty promises in his State of the Province addresses that he would scrap the system, “only to turn around and distance himself from his own commitments, after realising he had no jurisdiction on the matter”.
He called out Mbalula for contradicting the African National Congress who had promised Gauteng residents on several occasions that they would do away with e-tolls.
“Even Gauteng Premier David Makhura wasted millions of rands on useless panels and fake public consultations that he staged since 2014, despite the EFF’s constant objection to such wastage,” stated Ndlozi.
