All Wilddogs please support the following initiative. Kindly call the Presidential toll-free hotline number at 17737. “The hotline and public liaison service aims to encourage an all-round improvement in citizen care and liaison and introduce a culture of putting the citizen first…” Hotline opening speech.
Just air your dissatisfaction that a motorcycle is charged the same as a big 4X4 motor vehicle that tows a caravan and a boat. Suggest that it is in the best interest of South Africa to reduce the number of vehicles on our roads by implementing the “pay to weight” system. Parts of Europe and even some States in the USA cut fees by up to 90% for two wheels.
I visited some influential people in Government today and was “confidentially informed” when the Presidential Hotline receives more than 500 “hits” on any topic it must also be referred to the DG of the relevant department (Minister of Transport in this case) and feedback must be given to the Presidential Advisory Committee within three months.
The “contact” also shared that the Toll-system between Johannesburg and Pretoria is virtually finalised and there is no concession for motorcyclists on the document he saw. The same system will be implemented between Paarl and Cape Town within 4-years.
Please guys and girls, lets build a critical mass that will move the fat-cats!
