The Congress of South African Trade Union in the North West said they will continue to fight expensive toll gate in the province. 

Cosatu claim that white farmers are paying less at the toll then poor workers and motorists. Cosatu Provincial Secretary Solly Phetoe said it cannot be right that rich people pay less while the poor pays the balance.

We have realised that the fund that was confirm by SANRAL that most of the farmers are paying R4 they’ve been given a discount  between 95% which means they pay between R3 and R4 while poor workers are paying that R75.

“This means that the poor farm workers, working class and motorists are paying the balance for the farmers. Therefore as COSATU we’ll continue with our fight in order for everyone to live equally Phetoe added.
