Johannesburg - Cosatu in Gauteng will burn e-tags and bills during a protest outside Sanral's office in Pretoria next month.

Provincial secretary Dumisani Dakile said on Tuesday: “All those who had bought the e-tags need to be afforded an opportunity to burn them.”

This was a resolution made by the Congress of SA Trade Unions' provincial executive committee at a meeting last week.

“It further resolved that all those who have received their monthly bill should also be afforded the opportunity to burn them.”

Dakile said the protest would include a drive-slow on 18 October to the South African National Roads Agency Limited's office. E-tags and bills would be burnt in front of the office.

Cosatu called on Gauteng motorists to not buy e-tags or pay their bills.

Dakile said motorists should not be bullied by what he called “unlawful Sanral roadblocks” on highways.
