If u think there was a hair test. Wooden head probably means the difference in hair texture.

It can safely be said white people have softer hair.

I always thought houtkop means a stupid person.

Nothing, perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned Langenhoven along with Verwoerd.

Why mention it at all?

Lets be frank here. Verwoerd would be considered by many as a very bad man, and so we don't want roads named after him. Makes sense too me.

On the other hand, if Shaka was a modern leader and did the same things today as he did way back when, he would be considered a genocidal maniac. But we name roads and airports after him. Funny old world we live in.

Some of you are missing the point of this thread:

The ANC cannot do anything right IMO. The street name changes are a major and epic fail because the streets which are and should be changed due to racism aren't and they are just looking for "visibility" in major and busy areas:-

Another hidden agenda!

The streets I mentioned are in a quiet neighborhood where few people, other than those who live here, even know they exist. If these were major/main/busy roads you can be sure that they would have been renamed long ago.

Personally I'm not really in favour of renaming things and hiding/obscuring history, I'd actually keep these street names as they are. Having a major road/landmark/whatever named after someone like Verwoerd is probably not acceptable though.
