Maut in Südafrika - Highways werden gebührenpflichtig

[Birgitt]

Straßenbenutzungsgebühr nennen es die einen, highway-robbery die anderen -
wie auch immer man es nennen mag, die Ring Road um Johannesburg und die Autobahn nach Pretoria sind ab sofort gebührenpflichtig:

South Africa's contentious toll road system has opened around Johannesburg, with huge traffic jams after motorists flocking to use alternative routes. Opposition parties, trade unions and churches are calling for a boycott of the much-delayed system, saying it is unfair and badly designed. The "e-toll" system affects the ring road around Johannesburg and the motorway to the capital, Pretoria. The government says the toll is need to pay for improved roads.
