Vote against e-tolls in 2014 - DA

Johannesburg - Democratic Alliance supporters gathered at the Gauteng provincial legislature in Johannesburg on Thursday to protest against e-tolling.

Scores of DA supporters, dressed in the party's blue regalia, carried placards proclaiming "vote against e-toll in 2014".

Mavis Makola said the ANC government under President Jacob Zuma was on a mission to make people poor.

"The ANC has failed its people and it's about time to vote against e-tolls," said Makola.

The mixed crowd of adults and younger people sang struggle songs and wore T-shirts with an image of the DA's Gauteng premier candidate Mmusi Maimane.

The North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria on Monday struck from the roll an application by the Freedom Front Plus to stop e-tolls on Gauteng freeways.

The system started operating on Tuesday.
