New street names
‘Pretoria belongs to blacks, whites united in their diversity’
Mogoeng says AfriForum considers the old street names to be an integral part of its history and heritage.
The protracted dispute between AfriForum and the City of Tshwane is over changes to 25 street names.
The municipality has accused AfriForum of inciting anger by replacing the previous street names.
The EFF says old street names erected by AfriForum don’t have a place in a democratic South Africa.
The organisation says its members placed the names because the city refused to comply with a court order.
The City of Cape Town is pushing ahead with its street renaming campaign.
Some Cape Town residents want Jan Smuts Drive in Athlone to be renamed Dullah Omar Drive.
The City of Cape Town says the cost of street renaming has yet to be determined.
Cape Town city bosses are happy with a new list of proposed street name changes.
AfriForum’s Pretoria name change application was dismissed by the North Gauteng High Court.
