It will fix the potholes and bring water and infrastructure to everyone though as soon as the name is changed. Like magic…

Our government? The one WE voted in? Pretty sure they're doing exactly what's expected of them

Well done to the Graaf-Reinet residents. I hope Gayton's nonsense is found to be unlawful. Can't think of a politician who is more ANC (despite heading another party) than Gayton.

Well you cant blame them, Apartheid was horrible for those who didn't benefit from it, and still now you see the former colonisers bask in the wealth built on the backs of the locals. So yeah they'll do whatever even if its wrong or costly.

Apparently he is a puppet for the WMC puppet

Yes. the majority would rather destroy the economy than make the right choices because they have a grudge about white people.

This is not about "historical redress". The government renames things to keep the idiots who keep on voting for them happy.

The tactic seems to be working out just great on you.

Its a **** show no doubt, on the one hand you have the former colonisers currently coining it via business, jobs and property, all the while crying about the old days when all was well.

Then you have the new BEE types milking the system wherever they can.

And there is the rest of us always looking for a strand of opportunity and hope to improve.

BTW i also think renaming is a waste of money, unless the name has real bad historic precedent.
