E-toll views vented

The controversial e-toll system went live at mdinight and there is still much dissatisfaction and uproar over the system.

The City Times asked people on its Facebook page what their thoughts were on people who have or have not bought e-tags.

Here are some of the responses:

“There’s no social responsibility coming from it,” said Henry Prinsloo.

“T’is the season of giving.

“As a Benoni resident myself I politely refuse to get one.

“Will try for an indigent grant.

“I didn’t ask for new freeways – it was never a top priority.

“When does the prosecution start?

“Do they do home visits?”

Joe Standuhar said: “Good. I won’t be getting tagged either.

“I’ve paid my dues for Nkandla already.”

Louise Harris commented: “Pat on the back for me.

“I did not get one and will not get one!”

Paul van der Spuy said: “Fuel prices are going up just before the festive season – add e-tags – where will it end up?

“We are on our way to become just like Zimbabwe where a select few will live in luxury and the other 95 per cent in poverty.”

Heila de Swardt said: “People must buy their e-tags and pay their tolls!”

Crosby Mane commented: “Free country.
“Exercise your right.

“It is not against the law not to have an e-tag.”

Anne van Wyk said she will use alternative routes.
