Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa Announces New Deal on E-Tolls

Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa announced some changes to Sanral’s controversial e-toll system. Ramaphosa says: "All these concessions have been done in order to ensure that the system is able to move forward. If we are doing something that addresses the concerns of people‚ that is what we should focus on." Ramaphosa also announced that e-toll fees will be linked to licence renewals — so motorists cannot get their car discs unless they’ve paid their e-toll bills. Wayne Duvenage‚ formerly of the Opposition To Urban Tolling Alliance (Outa)tweeted “New e-toll dispensation is tantamount to putting lipstick on a pig. People will not be seduced or coerced. Scheme still grossly irrational‚” Robert Marawa‏ (@robertmarawa) also took to twitter to say: “Ridiculous. U renovate a house without consulting the owner then demand payment!! Life must really be good", while Deep Fried Man‏ (@DeepFriedMan) commented “I think it's really great how the ANC and SANRAL doing their bit to reduce carbon emissions by making owning a car unaffordable”.
