A bomb scare at Sanral<\/a>‘s operations centre in Tshwane is a sign of the severity of the civil resistance against the Gauteng tolling system, the FF Plus said on Monday.<\/p>\n

The government should view this as a warning, said Freedom Front Plus<\/a> MP Anton Alberts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It is clear that the public is despondent and battered by what they view as unreasonable action by the state,” he said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Three incidents have been reported at the SA National Roads Agency Limited’s (Sanral) building in Midrand.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, the building had to be evacuated after a bomb threat. No bomb was found.
\nIt was also evacuated on Tuesday and Friday after a suspicious powder, initially thought to be anthrax, was found.<\/p>\n

At the time, CEO Nazir Alli<\/a> said the evacuations had not compromised the toll collection process, and that the toll gantries remained operational.<\/p>\n

Alberts said on Monday that the party was prepared to help people report their problems with the toll system to the National Consumer Commission (NCC).<\/p>\n

“We invite the public to make use of these legal channels to show their opposition to the e-tolls,” he said.<\/p>\n

“The NCC has the right to see to it that all problems are resolved. While a complaint with the NCC is pending, Sanral is not allowed to take any legal steps or any other steps against a person.”<\/p>\n

This meant Sanral did not have to be paid while a case was pending, Alberts said.<\/p>\n
