Renaming debacle reaches the Cape

InternAfrica - wonder’s what it is like to live in a suburb of streets with no names… for years on end… how do you comply with FICA or participate in the economic society if you can’t even be sent a bill?

How long does the ‘memorialisation’ period last - till all named streets are renamed? Then only will they get to the un-named streets, erm why spend money on RE-naming. Why not Name for the same if not lesser price. In fact it would add value to those cityzens lives.


It (the panel) agreed that all the “NY” - an abbreviation for “native yard” - streets in Gugulethu should be changed, but said this should be done after a “memorialisation” process and community consultation.

The same process should be followed with streets in District Six. - IOL
