Cosatu to burn e-tags, e-toll bills

Johannesburg - Cosatu in Gauteng will burn e-tags and bills during a protest outside Sanral's office in Pretoria next month, provincial secretary Dumisani Dakile said on Tuesday.

"All those who had bought the e-tags need to be afforded an opportunity to burn them," he told reporters in Johannesburg.

This was a resolution made by the Congress of SA Trade Unions' (Cosatu) provincial executive committee at a meeting last week.

"It further resolved that all those who have received their monthly bill should also be afforded the opportunity to burn them."

Dakile said the protest would include a drive-slow on October 18 to the SA National Roads Agency Limited's office. E-tags and bills would be burnt in front of the office.

Cosatu called on Gauteng motorists to desist from buying e-tags or paying their bills.

Dakile said motorists should not be bullied by what he called "unlawful Sanral roadblocks" on highways.
