A defiant Democratic Alliance (DA) says it will not take down the billboard advertisements that say the African National Congress (ANC) proudly brought motorists e-tolls.

The party has been criticised by ANC structures for the election advertisements placed on Gauteng’s freeways.

The ANC Women’s league accused the DA of trying to be smart and opportunistic. But the DA says it is a fact that e-tolls are ANC policy and that they are deeply unpopular.

DA Gauteng Premier candidate Mmusi Maimane says: “ANC must explain why people should be taxed twice. Why pay tax, fuel levy and now e-tolls – that is what ANC must explain.”

Meanwhile, the ANC says it will not take the e-tolls billboards put up by the DA on the Gauteng’s freeways lying down.
