This comes two days after President Jacob Zuma signed a bill into law giving the South African National Roads Agency Limited the green light to launch the controversial user-pay system.
The protest is led by Mmusi Maimane, the opposition party’s national spokesperson and 2014 general election candidate for Gauteng Premier.
It is taking place along the N3, near the Modderfontein off-ramp. The message is for the people of Gauteng to vote against e-tolling in the election.
Maimane has promised to do everything in his power to stop e-tolling if he is elected Premier of Gauteng next year.
