This after the political party’s Gauteng organiser Lufuno Gogoro threatened to do so.
The alliance’s Wayne Duvenage said Outa supported any form of legal, peaceful and constructive plans to oppose the implementation of e-tolling, such as not purchasing an e-tag.
“We believe that sufficient numbers within society will exercise their democratic rights not to purchase an e-tag and will practice peaceful resistance actions and protests against the ill-conceived e-toll system, in order to bring it down” said Duvenage.
“We should not seek solutions to problems by means of violence or destruction of property, however, if government continues to ignore the clear rejections from the cross-section of society on the e-toll matter, we warn that some frustrated elements within society may not wish to follow a democratic process,” he added.
He said the alliance remained hopeful that the new Minister of Transport, Dipuo Peters, in consultation with the Presidency, would seriously consider the voluminous broad-based opposition to e-tolls, with a view to a new focus on an alternative solution that would be in the best interest of society.
In 2012, the Constitutional Court set aside Outa’s application to halt the implementation of e-tolls, and gave Sanral approval to implement the system.
This year, Outa approached the court and was granted leave to appeal in the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein. The hearing is set to take place in September.
