DA to march to Gauteng Premier’s office to end e-tollsThe DA delegation will include Joburg Mayor Herman Mashaba, the party’s Gauteng premier candidate Solly Msimanga and Midvaal Mayor Bongani Baloyi. I still wonder how on earth DA choose this guy to lead them in gauteng Wait, to the same premiers office who himself marched against etolls or another one?😂🤣😂He made it clear he doesn't have the power to do so already, so what do you want from him? Tltltl, why didn't they join bo Panyaza Lesufi le Gauteng Premier when they jaywalked to Union Buildings few weeks ago to demand that Cyril remove etolls claiming its a national problem. Or perhaps they can whisper with Sputla Ramokgopa, the ANC face of anti-etoll campaign.🤦‍♂️🤭🙈

'We will not be blackmailed' - David Makhura says e-tolls have no future in Gauteng“The Gauteng government has been able to upgrade and rehabilitate our provincial road network of more than 5‚000km that have no e-tolls. We can and will find alternative ways of expanding and maintaining our road network without e-tolls‚” he said. He's just saying those words to save ANC face. E-tolls were doomed from the start but they plowed ahead to try and fleece us. V f I support the premier,there must be another way to finance our roads.Fuel levies,renewals of licenses,must play their part,not this bottomless black hole pit.Gauteng govt has been burdened with foreign nationals,look at Dept of health.Its burdened too much.E-tolls have no future.
