| The delay of the e tolling is good news to Gauteng's motorist source |
The announcement was made by transport director general George Mahlalela, just hours after the African National Congress and the Congress of SA Trade Unions (Cosatu) said they would ask the government for a month-long delay Read more.
I really think that the delaying of the e tolling system is a relief to must motorist. I must say that travelling on Gauteng road it is going to be quiet expensive. The strike that was planned by the cosatu is going ahead as planned the strike will give motorists again the opportunity to vice out they opinions about the e tolling.
I wonder what is going to be the discussion of the south Africa national road agency on the trifles, are they going to decrease the trifles or what. The Barden of the tolling system is too much for our motorists because the petrol price is going up again next week. The strike that was planned by the cosatu is going ahead as planned.
Form a marketing communication view I that the if the South African National Road Agency (snral) wants the e tolling system to be implementation to be successful they should use this time given effectively to communicate with the people who will be using the road and this is where integrated marketing communications (imc) is important and it should be effective.
we are really sick and tired of this e-tolling subject. this thing of it being delayed or postponed is waisting another time, if it will be implemented then so be it or if it wont then lets get it over and done with and save each others time. its been too long debating one thing...
ReplyDeleteYes it been too long since we have been debating on this issue but the problem is that the SANRL cannot come with a solution that will accommodate everyone.
DeleteI heard enough with this e-toll system why cant they leave the roads to be free like before, look how much money and time is waisted. Or at least reduce the cost to the lowest amount so everyone won't complain.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the sanral will take that into consideration and come up with a better plan and stop wasting time.
DeleteI'll be relieved the day the announce that the e-tolling has been CANCELLED not POSTPONED. I'm a student I do not have the money to pay for every kilometre I travell , hai no It is not on.HOW MUST I PAY FOR MY FEES IF I HAVE TO PAY FOR E-TOLLING?
ReplyDeleteWe all want the e tolling to be cancelled but it seems like that will never happen, we will have to accept that the e tolling is here to stay.
DeleteThe e-tolling will be passed wether we like or not. They should just implement it and move. Many people have already registered for e-tolls do lts close the subject and moveon. The government got what it wanted and it will always get wha it wants.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with you the government has got what it wanted so let it be but the really fact is that the nation will not give up it will keep on fighting for what is right.
Deleteyes i understand why the want to do with the money for e-tolling but isnt this another way for the government to want more money from
ReplyDeleteI also think that this is an other way for the government to get more money from us. Why should we pay for the roads that have been operating for such a long time.
DeleteThe government and SANRAL definately did not plan this strategically. This matter was not well-communicated to the public, it was not well-organised, if it were there would be no such things like 'a month-delay. The government really needs to decide.
ReplyDeleteYes it is true SANRAL did not communicate with the public and hopefully within this month delay time they have been given they will communicate with the public.
Deletee-tolling is a big stress for all motorists but a final decision needs to be done and stop wasting time on this issue.
ReplyDeleteYes I also agree with you that too much time has been wasted and we need a final decision that will take into consideration our concern as the public.
DeleteI think this e-tolling systems must be cancelled because majority of people in South Africa they don't demand them particularly the motorists.
ReplyDeleteYes the e tolling is not a demand to motorists but it is a demand to our government and the SANRAL.
ReplyDeleteThe e-toll being delayed, it does not bring happiness to the motorists i think ...because the point is, it is delayed not cancelled ...it is still to progress, they havnt got rid of it... i doubt they are happy for this.
ReplyDeleteYes it is true we were all hoping that it would be canelled instead of being delayed.
Deletethis etolling system it is starting to seem like a joke in the south africa
ReplyDeleteTo you Clive it migth seem like a joke because you will not be directly affected but to motorists it is a serious issue that needs to be solved immediately.
DeleteThis e-tolling thing is just a waste of money and government should just forget about it as it will never succeed
ReplyDeleteYes the e tolling is just a waste time but i have to disagree with you that the e tolling will not be succeed, it is going to succeed wheather we like it or not.
ReplyDeleteWell said Dineo about the need of communication as it is obvious that people are clueless about the effect that the e-tolling system is going to have on them and reasons for it to be implemented. Most motorists see it as a deep end for them and yet it will also affect us indirectly for the fact that parents will have to cut down on the amount they give and also we'll have to cut down on our wants, as money is going to be an issue. For SANRal this maybe a solution and to motorists this maybe a problem so where is the balance in this and who is benefitting?

DeleteThats what the nation wants to know that who will be benefiting from the e tolling?
DeleteI was so delighted to hear of the e-toll system being delayed...I think they should just go forever. Wow our governement is really reaping us apart and yes should come up with a very good plan.
ReplyDeleteIndeed a good plan is needed this time to make the public happy as well as the sanral.
DeleteMy opinion is that it's going to be difficult for SANRAL Communication department to convince people about signing up for E-toll, reason being that E-Toll has recived lot of bad criticsm and publicity, i reckin that they must just do away with it and find other alternative ways to make motorists pay.
