Cape Town - A memorandum once again calling for the renaming of Cape Town International Airport to Krotoa Airport is set to be handed to the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture Nathi Mthethwa next month.

Numerous calls had been made in the past for the name change, however the department had stated that the public consultation process reached no consensus, leading to the renaming effort being abandoned.

Krotoa was a Khoisan woman who worked as a servant in Jan van Riebeeck’s household. It is reported that she was instrumental in working out terms for ending the first Dutch-Khoi war in the Cape.
Now indigenous Khoisan groups say they believe renaming the airport after one of their own is critical to the preservation of their heritage.

It's not broken. It doesn't need to be renamed to fix anything.
