ActionSA Alleges Gauteng Premier’s E-Toll Abolishment Promise as Election Ploy

ActionSA accuses Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi of using the promise to scrap e-tolls as an electoral tactic ahead of the May 29th general elections. Lesufi’s recent pledge to eliminate e-tolls by the end of the month has sparked criticism from ActionSA’s Funzi Ngobeni, who deems it overdue. Ngobeni blames the ANC for implementing e-tolls without proper consultation and expresses disappointment in the delay of scrapping the system. Lesufi had made the commitment over a year ago during his state of the province address. The dispute adds a political dimension to the ongoing debate over the controversial e-toll system in Gauteng.
