One thing I just wonder, if the ANC is installing e-tolling, shouldn't they then reduce the road-tax they impose on petrol?

That's a rhetorical question, obviously, as the ANC would never do something to make themselves lose income like that, but it just shows how the tax payers are being shafted once again. What is it now, 3 million tax-payers supporting 30 million poor, unemployed people?

I know! Two years back I bought a 2lt milk in Stellenbosch for R12, now I have to pay R17. :(

The worst part is that every time the petrol goes up, food prices increase, but when petrol goes down again, food prices stay high.
