I know, right? I mean Cape Town International Airport has such a non-neutral, dark political air about it.

Best we rename it right away to something that confuses the entire world and makes people think it's in New Zealand.

I need to highlight this point,

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.

Anyone cares where this is 'instrumtenally' pointed out in history, or is this alt history discovered by recent history by understanding how they believed the Dutch thought back then?

Lately, history has been reworked in several areas. Not that I believe it can't be possible, but the above is being used to motivate the name change.

It's not the PAC calling for the name change.
Now indigenous Khoisan groups say they believe renaming the airport after one of their own is critical to the preservation of their heritage.

Personally, the airport already has the most appropriate name, unless Cape Town's name is also under consideration to be changed.

Going to be confusing because Krotoa sounds like a place name.

No need to change, everyone knows where Cape Town International is and we like the name.

It's said her history and work are well documented.
