Outa will not appeal e-toll ruling
Opposition To Urban Tolling Alliance (Outa) chair Wayne Duvenage has announced that he will not continue a legal battle against e-tolling in Gauteng.
It was reported that Duvenage cited a lack of funds amongst the reasons for not taking the matter further.
It follows the Supreme Court of Appeal’s dismissal of an appeal by Outa to scrap the controversial system earlier this month (October).
The proposed tariffs for e-tolling were published in the Government Gazette following the court’s decision and the public has 30 days to comment.
Transport Minister Dipuo Peters, has said that the system could be implemented before the end of the year, despite a backlash from public, the DA, and Cosatu, among others.
