E-tags and bills will be burnt during a protest by the Council of South African Trade Union (COSATU) outside SA National Roads Agency Limited’s (Sanral) office in Pretoria next month, provincial secretary Dumisani Dakile said on Tuesday.
“All those who had bought the e-tags need to be afforded an opportunity to burn them,” he told reporters in Johannesburg.
This was a resolution made by Cosatu’s provincial executive committee at a meeting last week.
“It further resolved that all those who have received their monthly bill should also be afforded the opportunity to burn them.”
Dakile said the protest would include a drive-slow on October 18 to Sanral’s office. E-tags and bills would be burnt in front of the office.
Cosatu called on Gauteng motorists to not buy e-tags or pay their bills.
Dakile said motorists should not be bullied by what he called “unlawful Sanral roadblocks” on highways.
