The Congress of South African Trade Union has welcomed the Catholic Church’s strong condemnation of the Gauteng e-tolling system.

Cosatu said it welcomes the church’s concern over the effect of e-tolling on the poor.

The trade union is planning another mass action against the e-tolling later this week. 

Cosatu Spokesperson Patrick Craven said we are appreciating the fact that they emphasised the impact it will have on the poor.

Craven added that thousands of workers have to use their cars to get and from work, because of the lack of a reliable public transport service and will therefore suffer a steep increase in their transport costs.
