Union vows to stop tolling of freeways
The South African Transport and Allied Workers' Union has vowed to stop the tolls from being imposed on Gauteng's freeway system and says that the "tolling monster is economically disastrous" for the country as a whole.
SATAWU spokesman Reagoikanya Molopyane was addressing members of the Johannesburg Press Club where a round table discussion on tolling took place yesterday.
The meeting was attended by Nazir Alli, chief executive of the South African National Roads Agency Limited who claimed that electronic tolling on the freeways would benefit all motorists.
Molopyane warned that the union had 165 000 members and if they all came out on strike against the toll roads there would be "no food, no petrol and no goods" moving along the freeways. She says the union will go on strike unless the toll roads are abolished.
