Cape Town - The Congress of South African Trade unions (Cosatu) will embark on a drive slow on Tuesday in Pretoria against e-tolls, according to the SABC.
After the drive slow, Cosatu will proceed to march to the Medi-Clinic Heart Hospital to wish former president Nelson Mandela a speedy recovery, the broadcaster reported.
The federation also appealed for mass support. It called for motorists to join the protest.
Earlier on Monday, Transport Minister Ben Martins hinted that further cuts to e-tariffs on the Gauteng toll road programme might be on the cards.
Tolling was supposed to begin in April 2011, but at least three proposed start dates have failed to materialise. Tariffs have been cut twice since legal battles about the issue started.
Martins said his department is trying to find ways of reducing the effect of tolling.
A lower tariff may be regarded as a final offer of compromise from the state to get the bill approved.
