Johannesburg - The Democratic Alliance says that motorists can put an end to the daylight robbery of e-tolls as it launched its campaign to drum up support for the upcoming elections.
The DA unveiled a new billboard against e-tolls on the N3 highway in Germiston on Thursday.
The blue and white billboard states: "A vote for the DA is a vote against e-tolls."
DA spokesperson Mmusi Maimane said it formed part of an intensive campaign to mobilise Gauteng voters against the ANC-led government.
"We urge motorists to vote for the DA to put a stop to this daylight robbery."
The DA also earlier this year commissioned anti-e-toll billboards on the N3 and N1 highways, which poked fun at the African National Congress.
Earlier on Thursday, Public Service Minister Lindiwe Sisulu urged motorists in the province to buy their e-tags.
"Motorists who have not registered for e-tolling are encouraged please to do so, to ensure they qualify for the discounted rates," she said.
The DA is set to file papers in the South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg to contest the constitutionality of the e-toll legislation signed into law by President Jacob Zuma in September.
The party believed the bill was incorrectly dealt with in parliament, saying it was incorrectly tagged and should be declared unconstitutional.
On November 8, the Freedom Front Plus, agricultural union TAU SA, and the National Taxpayers' Association also filed court papers to have the legislation declared unconstitutional.
The public and various organisations responded with anger and disappointment to the announcement by Transport Minister Dipuo Peters that e-tolls will come into effect on December 3.
