Planning to fail: Having pocketed millions, if not billions, by plundering Eskom in all sorts of ways through a variety of tender companies and who knows what else, it seems Cyril and The ANC have finally realised the Medupi & Kusile projects have bled dry, and are now looking for new ways to employ (steal) taxpayers money, to continue bleeding them dry… yet another new huge expensive project with new tenders, contracts, bribes & kickbacks. It is the same all over South Africa, build a new school, extort tenders, contracts, bribes & kickbacks. Then burn it down and steal more from the taxpayer by building another school with more tenders, contracts, bribes and kickbacks. The African Way.

80% of Gauteng motorists refuse to pay tolls – This ANC-initiative has been a disaster since onset

The Minister of Transport, Fikile Mbalula, has come to the fore with his negotiations on the existence of the controversial e-toll in the Central Transvaal.
He held discussions with Outa, the AA agency, and several union leaders to get views and views on the matter.
Mbalula later told the media that the government is currently strongly considering the possibility of waiving the e-toll due to the long-standing resistance that causes it to operate at a total loss as 80% of motorists refuse tolls to pay.
To date, the government has been reluctant to comply with the demands and has even offered to reduce the toll tariff by 70%, but this has been rejected by numerous agencies.
Will it be the final downfall of the controversial e-Toll system?

Talks between the ANC Minister of Transport, Fikile Mbalula, and the representatives of the AA as well as those of Outa, give the impression that the system may be tilted.
Mbalula says the opportunity was created to jointly decide on the e-toll system, which indicates that the Outa battle may eventually be the winner.
Opinionists believe the involvement of the AA suggests that a calculation of how to increase the fuel price may be needed to replace the e-toll.
The e-toll was disputed from the outset, and motorists have since refused to settle the accounts, which has resulted in an unusually large loss.
It seems likely that rolling petrol price increases, last experienced in the latter half of 2018, are expected to make a dubious return this year – Petrol price increase in March to be higher than first expected

The petrol price increase in March is expected to shock South Africans, with a hefty hike eclipsing original estimates.
It seems likely that rolling petrol price increases, last experienced in the latter half of 2018, are expected to make a dubious return this year – starting next month. While first estimates, released by the Central Energy Fund (CEF) earlier in the month, proposed a hike of 43 cents per litre for petrol and 60 cents per litre for diesel, recent revelations paint a grim picture for South Africans.
Petrol price increase in March
The Automobile Association (AA) of South Africa noted that a steady increase in international oil prices, coupled with a weakening rand – both experienced after the first estimate tabled by the CEF – had since altered original evaluations. The Energy Department has echoed the AA’s sentiments – pointing to mooted increases which almost double first guesses.
According to the Energy Departmen
