DA calls on review panel to scrap unjust E-tolls. The DA made its submission to Premier David Makhura’s e-toll review panel, with the emphatic message that the electronic tolling of Gauteng’s highways is unjust and must go.

In their submission the DA outlines the impact of e-tolls on the province as a whole, and that it goes beyond the pockets of motorists.

DA MEC for Roads and Transport Neil Campbell said The DA therefore proposes that funding for roads and highways come from the fuel levy, one which is ring-fenced for exclusive use on roads infrastructure construction and maintenance only.

 “The DA will continue in our fight for a toll-free Gauteng, and use every avenue to our disposal Campbell added.
