The Democratic Alliance (DA) announced that the party\u2019s premier candidate for Gauteng, Mmusi Maimane, will unveil new anti-e-tolling billboards as well as a message for Gauteng voters.<\/p>\n
This comes after Transport Minister Dipuo Peters announced that e-tolls will commence on 3 December 2013 on Gauteng\u2019s highways.<\/p>\n
Peters also slated the DA for their previous anti-e-tolling billboard campaign, calling them cowards.<\/p>\n
\u201c[These are] people who don\u2019t have the decency to actually acknowledge what the ANC government has delivered in this country,\u201d she said at The New Age\u2019s business breakfast in Midrand.<\/p>\n
\u201c[They] want to focus on one aspect and turn an important infrastructure of the economic hub of South Africa\u2026into a gimmick.\u201d<\/p>\n
The DA commissioned the billboards, visible along the N3 and N1 highways, which poke fun at the African National Congress and its role in the electronic tolling saga.<\/p>\n
Last week, the DA submitted papers to the High Court. The party is of the view that the \u201ce-tolling\u201d Bill was incorrectly passed by Parliament and signed into law by President Jacob Zuma. The party believes that it was incorrectly tagged and should be declared unconstitutional.<\/p>\n
