Those behind E-toll billboards are cowards - Minister

01 Feb 2016 | Admin Author

Transport Minister Dipuo Peters says the billboards erected along Johannesburg's highways next to e-toll gantries are the work of cowards.

Speaking in Midrand on Monday morning, Peters said those responsible for the billboards do not have the decency to acknowledge what the ANC government has delivered in this country.

She said they want to focus on one aspect and turn an important infrastructure of the economic hub of South Africa... into a gimmick.

The Democratic Alliance says it commissioned the billboards which poke fun at the African National Congress and its role in the electronic tolling saga.

The message on them reads: "E-tolls. Proudly brought to you by the ANC.

Earlier, Peters said e-tolling in Gauteng would probably be implemented by the end of the year.
