Plans for tolling in Cape Town, KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng are set to be shelved.

A well-places senior government source revealed that these projects including the second phase of the Gauteng freeway improvement project, would not go ahead after mass protests by Cosatu this week.

The source said that the public protest was a success in this sense.

Thousands of people went to the streets on Wednesday in protest against the e-tolling system.
