FIle: E-tolls have been in place for nearly 18 months now, but the system has been a financial failure.
PARLIAMENT - The Democratic Alliance says government should lead by example in the payment of e-Tolls in Gauteng.
It has slammed municipalities for failing to comply with the laws governing the system.
A report from the Transport Department shows that six municipalities in Gauteng have massive outstanding e-Toll bills.
Manny De Freitas told Parliament that it is pure hypocrisy for the state to call on citizens and businesses to pay gantry fees, while it doesn&39;t do the same.
The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality alone owes over R1.8 million.
The City of Tshwane&39;s outstanding balance stands at over R300,000, while Emfuleni local municipality owes around R120,000.
