Makhura & Mboweni Duel On Twitter Over E-Tolls

I have referred the e-tolls matter to President@CyrilRamaphosa for final resolution; My engagements him and Minister @MbalulaFikile have been positive. Minister @tito_mboweni can continue to tweet as he cooks; he is a Minister, not the President. #NoTurningBack

Minister shouldn't we discuss this matter as directed by the President first ? And thereafter after engagement with all stake holders we can then present a collective view to society ? You debating here on twitter will further poor water to an already polarized debate .

@tito_mboweni don’t provoke and disrespect us you are ill-discipline and obsessed with yourself we are not scared of you bring it on. We will defeat you with your Neo-liberal tendencies @lupingcayisa @MYANC you are doing what the NEC cautioned us not do

The question @tito_mboweni is who did the investing in the GFIP? The country & it’s people are expected to repay the Government backed bonds through taxes and levies, not through some inefficient toll scheme that generates profits for a private foreign company. https://t.co/tCHRLvBHv9

But the working class pays the additional cost of #etolls on all produce + products transported via #etolled roads in the form of increases. Including on food. Or do you think that companies are absorbing that cost from the goodness of their hearts, minister @tito_mboweni? https://t.co/TeFcW8GMbv

Tax payer has already paid. How about This: I will pay Etolls when all ministers have to buy vehicles, like I do, from their own pocket. User must pay!!!

Now Therefore, minister, screw you and your comrades for pushing etolls down our throats!

You are just a minister not a president. … deal with that and stop irritating us with failed etolls….

Mr Mboweni, we don't need to give you the numbers, you should know by now the PAYE burden on the middle class you talking about , the stats from the NCR? How many household are dipping into their credit cards just to buy the basics again?? Etolls are dead 7 you know it.

The real story on the e-tolls is not the goings-on between @tito_mboweni and @David_Makhura but the silence of @MYANC on its position on e-tolls. My guess is there is a fudged position on the matter.
