Cabinet spokesperson, Jimmy Manyi, says that the controversial e-tolling system is an example of government ‘rolling out democracy’.
Manyi points out that, “While Cabinet is concerned about the opposition towards the system, the whole process is quite simply a roll out of democracy."
Meanwhile, On Monday, Cosatu threatened to stage the "mother of all protests" against the e-tolls before its planned implementation on April 30, and is "looking for a legal angle" to challenge the system.
The Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance (Outa), a union of civil society organisations and private companies, has already approached the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria in its bid to interdict e-tolls.
