The Justice Project SA says E-tolls in Gauteng will cripple South Africa's economy.
JPSA chairman Howard Dembovsky has told public hearings in Midrand on the impact of e-tolls that they'll cripple the economy of Gauteng and indeed South
Africa as a whole,
He warned that e tolls will create the socio-economic disaster of the millennium and that people who were prosecuted for not paying tolls would have a criminal record, which would affect their livelihoods.
He said as from May 31, R1.1 billion in e-toll fees had not been paid and of the 2.5 million people who used the highways under the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project, only half had been registered.
Dembovsky said if a fuel levy of 14 cents/litre was introduced Sanral would be able to repay its debt sooner.
