The Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) says it plans to strike over the implementation of the new Gauteng toll road tariffs.

Dumisane Dakile, Cosatu's provincial secretary, says the provincial executive committee have decided to fight tooth and nail against the e-toll system.

Dakile says Cosatu will submit a strike notice to the National Economic Development and Labour Council at the end of this month.

The trade union will then call for a public march on 12 March and a mass demonstration on Gauteng's highways also in March.
