Outa verloor tol-appèl

etollDie Bondgenootskap teen Stedelike Tol, Outa, het sy teleurstelling uitgespreek met die uitspraak in die Bloemfonteinse Appèlhof waar sy laaste poging om die Gautengse e-tolstelsel te keer, van die hand gewys is.

Outa sê hy gaan die uitspraak bestudeer en die organisasie sal môre ‘n mediakonferensie hou.

Die Bondgenootskap het geappèlleer teen ‘n hofuitspraak verlede jaar wat die implementering van die tolstelsel deur die Padagentskap – Sanral – gemagtig het.

Outa het onder andere aangevoer dat daar nie behoorlike openbare raadpleging was nie. Regter Fritz Brand het in sy uitspraak gesê die horlosie kan nie teruggedraai word tot vyf jaar gelede toe die tolstelsel bekend gemaak is nie.

Hy sê in dié tydperk is groot hoofweg-opgraderings gedoen, wat nie ongedaan gemaak kan word nie, en tóe eers is die hersieningsaansoek gebring.

Hy sê die nadeel is dat hoewel Gautengers meestal vir die paaie gaan betaal, dit tot die res van die land se ekonomie sal bydra.

Brand sê die nadeel is dat Sanral R20 miljard hiervoor met geleende geld betaal het, en indien geen tolgeld gehef word nie, die regering uiteindelik daarvoor sal moet opdok.

Brand sê die koste gaan waarskynlik gedelg word deur diegene wat dit vermoedelik die minste kan bekostig, en die impak op hulle sal nie gering wees nie.

Geen kostebevel is gemaak nie. – RSG

  1. Nou moet die motoris die kastaiings uit die vuur krap waar die regering alweer groot aangejaag het! Daar is soveel heffings wat betaal word vir die opgradering vir die paaienetwerk!
    Ek sal nie registreer nie want dit gaan hieroor ‘n beginselsaak.
    Dankie aan Outa vir wat julle alles gedoen het. Dit word opreg waardeer.

  2. Dis ‘n donnerse skande – ek betaal belasting vir meer as 30 jaar … waarvoor was en word dit aangewend ? Nog minder sal ek registreer, ons kan wragtig nie almal voor die voet in die tronk gestop word nie.

    Kapenaars, is ek welkom daar in julle wêreld … ? Pak sommer my doedelsak en verlaat hierdie Sodom en Gomorra !

  3. Remember, postal summonses are not legal
    documents and you need not react to them.

    TAX

    I think, and I am sure that many of you are the same, that the
    tolls are a disgrace, both the extortionate toll fees themselves and also the
    widely published fact that we are expected to pay up to R18 BILLION over the
    next 10 years just to collect the toll fees.

    I wanted to share the clarity of thought in this mail and agree that I will not
    be installing anything on my car.

    They are not going to have easy access to my bank account, they
    say they want a debit order – forget it.

    Send me a bill (by registered mail) every time – and I will pay it just
    as fast as I pay the speeding fines that arrive by normal post (which I also
    ignore).

    Together we can make this whole thing fail – as it should.

    Let the toll gates stay there, not working, as monuments to people power.

    Let’s call this the start of the SA Awakening, look what the normal people are
    achieving in North Africa with the Arab Awakening.

    I hope this goes around at least a billion times.

    Taxes and Open Road Toll Fees

    People should not install the transponders but still use the highways
    and force the government to issue accounts and summonses to all motorists
    until such time they drop the prices.

    The government will be forced to send out millions of accounts every
    month and they don’t have the manpower to do it.

    This is the best and easiest way to boycott the system.

    What is the government going to do about motorists from other neighboring countries
    that don’t have these transponders?

    South Africans are too complacent and its time we fight back.

    WE have paid for these roads.

    Now they are also proposing a 1% tax to fund the SABC

    Circulate this to all your friends!!!!!!!!

    Has anyone thought just how much tax we are already paying?

    a. 35% on your salary

    b. 14% on everything you buy (bar fresh produce) and services rendered.

    c. Carbon tax if you buy a new car (besides the 14% VAT you have to pay)

    d. Tax on the fuel you put in your car to run it.

    e. Toll on our roads – and for some it is going to come to a whopper of 10% of
    your salary (If you earn R10 000.00 a R1 000 would go toward tolling if you
    migrate between PTA and JHB every day.)

    Bully to try and pacify me with the idea that I can claim it back from my
    income tax!!!

    I have to fork out the money first. Going on holiday to DBN? Remember to save
    up your R1000.00 for tolling.

    To say the least – For every R10.00 you earn, the government is already taking
    approx R6.00 and still they want more. Are you happy with the R4.00 you are
    getting?

    NICE!!!!!

    When are we going to get up and do something about it? Where is

    all the money going to?

    It is definitely not being spent on what it
    should be – our hospitals are in a state of disrepair, our schools in shambles,
    our roads full of potholes, our water contaminated, sewers not working, left in
    the dark because Eskom failed to do their upgrades, the poor are poorer still,
    municipalities on the brink of collapse, and so the list goes on.

    Heard about the youth day celebration that cost R100 million?

    Mmmm… did you pay for it?

    Oh yes sir/madam you did! R100 million that could have paid for a couple of
    things our country needed more.

    And to put the numbers in perspective:

    The next time you hear an SA politician use the word ‘billion’in a casual
    manner, think about whether you wanted the ‘politicians’ spending YOUR tax
    money.

    A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a
    good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its press
    releases:

    A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

    B.. A billion minutes ago Jesus was born in Bethlehem.

    C. A billion Rand ago was only 27 hours and 12 minutes at the rate our SA
    government is squandering it

    (over a billion rand a day??!!)

    STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

    Hardly any of these taxes existed 20 years ago…

    And our nation was one of the most prosperous in Africa.

    We had absolutely no national debt…

    What happened ?

    ANSWER :

    Look at the Government…..and who is ‘running’ the country….

    INTO THE GROUND – on YOUR and MY ‘billions’!!!

    We hope this goes around at least a billion times.

    1. Baie dankie vir hierdie Trippie.
      Wat vir my vreesaanjaend is, is wanneer hierdie lot na ‘n oudit nie rekenskap kan gee waar verlore geld heen is. Dan word daar van biljoene en nie miljoene gepraat!
      Iewers in die toekoms gaan die geld opdroog soos hulle tekere gaan.

        1. Hallo JAVR, lekker om jou raak te lees. Ja dis waar want vandag sal hy in prag en praal lewe en môre onder ‘n boom lê, hy gee glad nie om vir daardie downgrade nie.
          Hulle weet ook mos nie van spaar nie want in Afrika is die weer mos gunstig deur die jaar. Ons voorgeslagte wat Europeër is moes vir ses maande voorraad gehad het om te oorleef want dan is alles toe onder die sneeu.

    1. Hallo Riempies. Noudat jy van pensioene praat het ek gewonder wat het toe van die spoorwegpensioenfonds wat daar ook helse bedrog en diefstal plaasgevind het geword.
      Ek weet daardie pensioenarisse het gekrepeer. Weet jy dalk van so iets?

  4. Agge nee wat, ‘n OC het my ook eendag so ‘n papiertjie in die hand probeer stop by die laaste verkeerslig voor die N2, nogal ewe braaf vir my gesê ek MOET registreer, toe antwoord ek maar met ‘n ywerige “Make me!”. Daarna het ek my roete werk toe en terug bietjie aangepas om juis die goed te vermy. Ek weet dit is nie vir almal moontlik nie, dus is ek ‘n gelukkige een. Wat my de muhr in maak, is dat die res van Gauteng se paaie soos die K4brak se gat lyk, en niks word hieraan gedoen nie! En dankie Trip vir die insetsel oor presies hoeveel belasting ons elke dag betaal, dis skrikwekkend! Hoe lank gaan hierdie lot kan oorleef wanneer die laaste wit mens verjaag/vermoor is en daar is niemand oor om belasting te betaal nie?

  5. Baie maklike oplossing. Taxi’s betaal nie e-tol nie. Sal dit nie goedkoper vir sommige mense wees om as taxi te registreer nie? Ag nee, waar is my gedagte, dit is mos baie goedkoper wees om nie dit tag te koop of die rekeninge te betaal nie
