Solidarity's Dirk Hermann says South Africans have already had a taste of activism with the e-toll protest

Trade union Solidarity plans to launch a tax protest campaign against state owned enterprises and what it calls"tax plunderers".

"Tax protest does not have to include the withholding of tax. Taxpayers can unite across traditional barriers, making use of legal instruments to call the state and tax plunderers to account.” "These promises have not been met and Jarana has left. We must protect sustainable work at SAA. We saw at Denel what happens to employees if the wait on a business rescue application is too long," Herman said.

Solidarity would also serve urgent court papers on struggling state-owned arms manufacturer Denel to force it to pay the state the unemployment insurance and tax contributions it has deducted from employees.
