The Congress of the People has condemn strongly the double taxation of South African motorists which are the looming increase in fuel levies and the increase in toll tariffs. 

The South Africa National Roads Agency Limited on Monday announced that toll tariffs on national roads will increase by 6.017 percent on Saturday.

COPE Spokesperson Dennis Bloem says the Minister of Transport must intervene and stop this senseless increase on the tolls.

Bloem said the question will always remain why government privatise our national roads.

Bloem said this does not benefit the people of the country but rather milking everybody rich and poor.

“This rise will have devastating effects on the already crippled economy of the country” Bloem added.
