Anti-toll groups in Gauteng agreed on Friday to jointly file a petition within 14 days to forward to Transport Minister Sbu Ndebele.

Cosatu, opposition parties, civil society organisations and residents reached the agreement during public hearings on the tolling system, held at the Johannesburg City Hall.

They would take to the streets of Gauteng in an attempt to force Ndebele to scrap the tolling system, they said.

Under the tolling system, which is set to come into effect in February, the drivers of light motor vehicles will have to pay R0.40/km to use certain highways. – Sapa
