    This anti-Etoll Email has started doing the rounds again:-

    Dear South African motorist,

    TOLL ROADS ARE TO BE IMPLEMENTED NATIONWIDE. Finish and klaar.

    This is not just a Gauteng concern, every province is targeted for tolls.

    IT SEEMS TO BE ANOTHER SCAM ON US ALL FOR THE ENRICHMENT OF A FEW. Consider….

    1) To fund the road costs by way of a small addition to the fuel levy would cost absolutely nil in collection fees. Nada, zilch!

    2) The proposed tolls collection costs amount to nearly 40% of what you will pay under tolling. 40% versus nothing. Where is the reasoned thinking?

    3) The collection fees (R5 billion a year) goes offshore to Austria, far from the auditor general’s reach and oversight powers. Petrol levies stay in S.A. and are audited.

    4) R5 billion exported impoverishes us all. Our current account is already disastrous. R5 billion is the equivalent of just 20 new Zuma seraglios, but is still a klomp geld

    Wayne Duvenage says we already collect R40 billion p.a. in fuel levies, much more than we need to sustain decent road structures.

    Tolls are just another disguised tax like A.D.T., private schools and Discovery, paying for services which you have already paid for with your tax buck.

    For-profit taxies are exempt from tolls, we producers still have to pay. Our Lords and Masters are dead scared of the taxies. So, I guess, are we all!

    Daily we read of the huge financial scams being perpetrated on us by our scurvy elected Lords and Masters. Daily. Huge amounts and no one is ever brought to account.

    We are punch drunk and feel powerless. We know that this latest scheme is like the others. We know why they will not release the contract details, and are united in gatvolheid.

    TOLL ROAD DISOBEDIENCE IS OUR CHANCE TO FIGHT BACK! And no one gets to bleed for a change. You can simply suck it up (again) or fight back.

    A very simple solution is at hand. It will cost you nothing, give you immense satisfaction and screw those scumbags who wish to accumulate huge offshore bank accounts at your expense.

    DO NOT REGISTER FOR E-TOLL TAGS. REGISTERING IS NOT A LEGAL REQUIREMENT. IF YOU DO NOT REGISTER THEY HAVE TO SEND YOU AN ACCOUNT, 300 THOUSAND ACCOUNTS A DAY, 10 BILLION ACCOUNTS PER YEAR, 10 BILLION! Quite impossible, and the scam will collapse.

    Then query your account! What fun. They will have to send you a photo of every toll you have passed through, maybe 20 billionin total. Then argue that it was not you but a cloned licence plate. Demand proof that you were the driver. With individual identification.

    DEMAND THAT THEIR 'LETTERS OF DEMAND' ARE SENT BY REGISTERED POST. Oh! The cost, the cost, the cost!

    Defend the case if you have time, but it will never reach that stage, the logistics and costs would be too overwhelming for the possible scamsters to contemplate. Insist, in writing, that the guy in charge of the camera attend the court, then pay your R15 due the day before trial.

    Over 20 years there is perhaps R160 billion at stake here, many times that when every province is targeted.

    R160 billion of your , my and South Africa’s money, possibly diverted to crooks ( they will not disclose the contracts which divulge where and to whom the toll fees are to be paid, so we cannot know).

    Sincerely, if you are tired of being a milch cow, tired of seeing your hard worked for earnings being ripped off for the benefit of a few connected yobboes, tired of being scammed,

    DO NOT BUY AN E-TAG, THEY CANNOT LOCK YOU UP, CANNOT BEGIN TO FIGHT US ALL, CANNOT HOPE TO WIN.

    Remember, the more draconian they get in trying to extort money from you, the more they will lose at the polls, and losing power is something they cannot afford as it would deny them the unlimited power of plunder they now enjoy.

    Please send this to as many of your contacts as possible. Let this go viral

    We will win for a change, and won’t that be satisfying !

    Please, pass it on

    Lots of ads now asking us to get an Etag, but no mention of when this will start. This is going to get interesting with cosatu already opposing this and not many people registering.
    Only stress when you can change the outcome!

    We spend more than R2500 per day on diesel and petrol and the tolls will knock our small company. The idea of given SANRAL the runaround is great but managing that will be time consuming (time that I personally do not have) but i agree that combined resistance is the answer to the tolls.
