Cosatu plans protest, will burn e-tags, bills

Johannesburg - The Congress of SA Trade Unions (Cosatu), the Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance and the National Taxi Alliance are set to protest at Sanral's Pretoria office, including the burning of e-tags and bills.

"We [have] previously demanded that the system should be scrapped and alternatives be explored to pay for the draconian system," provincial secretary Dumisani Dakile told reporters in Johannesburg.

He said Cosatu would thus continue its protest action against e-tolls.

The protest would start at Cosatu House in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, and make its way to the SA National Roads Agency Limited's (Sanral) offices in Pretoria. A protest would also start in Hatfield, Pretoria.

"We are going to hand over a memorandum to the Sanral offices... including burning of the e-tags and the bills which had been received by our people," Dakile said.

He accused the government of not listening to the people of Gauteng regarding e-tolls.
