FACTS REVEALED ON 702 THIS MORNING re. the e- TOLL TAG. * Less than 10 000 registered e-Tags. * The system is not manageable for cars travelling on the highways without an e-Tag. * The Ben Schoeman Highway between PTA & JHB carries 300 000 cars per day. * The e-Tag system is a dismal failure so far. * The latest R1.75 p/km is a last bid from the government to force us to buy this e-Tag so they can get the 98% of the pension money back theyve spend on the toll roads. * Note - you DONT HAVE TO BUY THE e-TAG. DO NOT get an e-TAG and THE SYSTEM WILL FAIL. Scroll further for mindboggling facts…. Do some quick maths . . . . 300 000 cars x R1.75/car = R 525 000.00 per day WRONG: it’s per km (and thats only at one gate) x average 4 gates between PTA- JHB = R 2 100 000.00 x 2 (the return trip) = R 4 200 000.00/day x 22 work days per month = R 92 400 000.00 per month x 11.5 working months per year = R 1 062 600 000.00 (One Billion, sixty two million six hundred thousand per year). WRONG again, it’s worse: It’s per km 300 000 both directions x 1.75 x 40km average (but 300 000 will be reduced as many cannot afford it) = R 21 000 000 p.day. = R 462 000 000 p.m. = R 5 544 000 000 p.a.!!!! Then the bulk thereof is paid to the guys abroad!!! Now who are the actual recipients abroad to be??? (Someone is trying to get rich very, very quickly & will have a lot of money to spend on many wives & children.) What are they going to do with all this money? It is not just one day - it will be every day! Your salary will not be increased to pay the tolls, so you will have to take this money from your retirement savings. All food and drink transported to Johannesburg on these roads will become more expensive. Once it is up and running, and you have accepted to be tolled, they will increase the price and you have no come-back in the future to stop the tolls!
