The federation threatened to mobilise residents in the province and close toll roads if the ANC continued to “zigzag” on scrapping e-tolls.

Johannesburg - Cosatu in Gauteng has warned the ANC at Luthuli House that the party could lose more electoral support as soon as 2021 if it did not stop urging Gauteng residents to pay e-tolls.

This comes after ANC national spokesperson Pule Mabe penned a piece in the party’s weekly publication, ANC Today, urging all citizens to embrace the user-pay principle and not boycott what they were urged to pay by the government. Since the introduction of e-tolls, most motorists have rejected the system, and Cosatu has been among organisations that have campaigned for them to be scrapped.

The ANC in the province also resolved on the scrapping of e-tolls in its last conference, after it suffered a massive electoral decline in the 2016 local government elections.
