There were even those who warned the ruling party that this move would be detrimental towards the party in the upcoming elections.

George Halgryn tweeted, “With #etolls the ANC has picked the rod they want to be hit with by all of the opposition”, while Enjabz said “Quite shocked that the ANC went ahead with #etolls despite the public outcry. Should be interesting if this has any impact on #Elections2014”
