Cancel E-Tolling on the GFIP (Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project)
Mike R.
started this petition to
President Jacob Zuma
Our Government (in South Africa) has ignored the widespread dissatisfaction of large numbers of our people and gone ahead with the implementation of e-tolls as the chosen way of paying for the new highways. They have chosen to ignore the wishes of the people - now they need to be reminded that we are the people who voted them into power and in less than 9 months they will once again be asking us to vote them back into power.
We have a chance to turn this situation around and to remind them that they are answerable to the people - and not just at election time! If enough of us sign this petition, they will find it very difficult to ignore us, especially in the light of the coming election.
E-tolls will add yet another burden to our already over-burdened people - with escalating electricity prices, fuel prices, and food prices. It is time we showed them that this cannot continue.
The South African Catholic Bishops conference Justice and Peace Department has initiated this petition and we urge all South Africans to sign and demonstrate how we feel about this issue.
