Ekurhuleni proposed name changes

[Knyro]

Covers Nigel/Springs/Benoni/Brakpan/Kempton Park/Alberton/Heidelberg/Germiston/Bedfordview (Bedfordview is actually a suburb of Germiston, but the snotty folks there don't like being told that) . Some parts of Midrand/Olifantsfontein as well I think. It's the largest Metro area in Gauteng.

Well I'll be damned, it is. But it segues so smoothly into Joburg too.

Bedford just took a knock on the Knyro snob-o-meter.

And after these name changes SA will be great again?

 

[cool_gi]

why not just build new roads and name it after all these people!

 

[Ninja'd]

Why can't they rename things to numbers? I find that non offensive. Rename everything sorted by size.

Whatever you say, Mr 3 centimetres.

 

[ekske1]

I give up. There are a million things that can be done to help the poor but no, renaming everything is more of a priority.

[PoppieChoffel]

Such a colossal waste of taxpayer money. Disgusting.

 

[Crowley]

Doesnt Edenvale fall under sandton ?

No but the people who live there likes to think it does.

 

[genetic]

So you all gonna actually do something and object to these name changes, or just b*tch on MyBB?

Huh? Edenvale is as East Rand as East Rand gets.

Already sent a email.

This move may just backfire - state capture and VBS are still fresh in the minds and even the sheeple are getting tired of these self enrichment schemes that does not add any value to their lives or improve their living conditions one bit.

Thanks for the share, I LOL'd so hard at number 30 on that list: "Holfontein/Etwatwa"

In all 11 languages?

 

[Dan C]

They should rename all Gonubie Street names. Now that will cause confusion

Election time

 

[Rouxenator]

Numbers son, not words. As you wrote 11 and not eleven.

Whatever you say, Mr 3 centimetres.

When I'm coming out of the pool, I only got a 1 inch tool.

 

[nightjar]

Let them. I still call the airport Jan Smuts.

Me too.
ORT was simply another thug.
Without the contribution of Jan Smuts it is very likely that all off-white people would today be slaves of the Nazis.

 

[Acid0]

so they cant even pick up garbage for the past 4 weeks but hell we have money to change names to help the ........ I dont even know what name changes brings to the table except lining some ones pockets.

Does the general public really care that much about name changes.

I have an idea.
We change all roads in South Africa to the following:
Nelson Mandela Road [number] for roads that go in a North South direction
Nelson Mandela Street [number] for roads that go in an East/West direction.

All suburbs are named Nelson Mandela suburb [1]

All airports are named Nelson Mandela airport in [City name]

All cities are named Nelson Mandela City [number]

All provinces are named Nelson Mandela Province [number]

Where do you live?
I live in Number 9 Nelson Mandela Road, Nelson Mandela Suburb 35, Nelson Mandela City 2, Nelson Mandela Province 4
