I disagree. Its my right and duty to speak up against people supporting corruption and unjust laws. So fark em. If you buy etags you are a spineless coward, who like bitching about the kak government, crime and corruption but support it with excuses like 'its the law', or 'i can afford a huge bill down the line', etc....
Well guess what jellyfish - none of us can afford it, but still we resist complying to this scam. So what makes you so special except the fact that you can live without a spine?
Grow some balls and stand up against social i justice and things we dislike in this country.
TVB... You work for these farkers. So its in your interest to support them. So your opinion is tainted and laced with secondary intensions. You said MANY WDs you met have etags. Please name those many, or are you trying to sell is a fart in order to get people to support your employer?
Dont try to put lipstick on a pig. Softcock is not going to work. Grow some balls. Start saving now for in case you have to pay a huge bill down the line. Chances are, you dont have to pay anything.
My right and duty is to manage my finances and avoid unnecessary risks.
I just wonder how many of those with the big balls donated to OUTA for the previous court cases, participated in protest rides or doing anything else than just making noise.
It is interesting that the South African Vehicle Renting and Leasing Association is part of OUTA's founding members. Yet all Car Rental companies have installed e-tags in their cars. Do you think they would have done that if they positively believed that e-toll will disappear in the short term.
I absolutely detest the e-toll system, but anyone thinking that it is going to disappear soon or before the next elections are delusional. [I sincerely hope to be proven wrong in this regard]
The ANC is not getting its majority votes from the middle class who rants about e-tolls on forums and facebook. They get their votes from the masses in townships and rural areas who uses taxis and trains and who is seemingly unaffected. To save face, they will actually try to keep e-tolls alive as long as possible and not easily admit to the stuff-up that it is, especially before an election.
Everyone ignoring his e-toll accounts must carefully think about where his personal "cut-off" point will be eventually. Will it be when you are summonsed to court, and you have to take days off from work? Will it be when they blacklist you or give you a criminal record; and what will be the price you will eventually have to pay. I know the courts will not be able to handle over a million e-toll offenders, but they will not summons a million at once. They will start with summonsing only a few and make examples of them and the rest will cave in.
I believe the e-tolls will eventually die, but not without a series of legal battles and appeals in courts, constitutional courts, etc. This could still take years, and until then, I do not want to pay SANRAL a cent more than necessary.
