The Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance (Outa) has postponed the public delivery of its decision on whether it will pursue its fight against government's e-toll system through the Constitutional Court until Friday.
Earlier today, Outa chairman Wayne Duvenage said the alliance would wrap up deliberations in time to distribute a media statement tomorrow afternoon, but members have called for more time.
In an updated statement, Outa says: "Following the Supreme Court of Appeal judgement [last week] and further to Outa's decision to announce its way forward on Wednesday, 16 October, members have decided they require more time to consider all options available to them, in order that the organisation is able to best achieve its strategy."
In this regard, says Duvenage, the planned announcement has now been postponed and a statement will be provided at a press conference to be held on Friday, 18 October.
Meanwhile, the Freedom Front Plus says it is still considering a High Court application to have the Transport and Related Matters Amendment Act (E-toll Bill) declared unconstitutional - a move it claims will "stop the Gauteng e-toll system".
The matter is currently with the party's lawyers, it says.
