The ANC are so blinded by their racism that they are actually shooting themselves in the foot.

It seems our comrades in the Eastern Cape ANC party want to change the names of suburbs in East London.

More information can be found here:

One of the suburbs listed... is mine. Nahoon.

- East London to Gompo;
- King William’s Town to Qonce;
- Duncan Village to Mzwanele Fazi;
- Gonubie to Qunubeni;
- Parkside to Leon Meyers;
- Abbotsford to Mapetla Mohapi;

- Nahoon to Mpumelelo Bhonco; and
- Quigney to eMhlonyane.

Okay firstly they have already renamed East London.... to Buffalo City. Even though we have no Buffalo :confused:

Anyways, onto my suburb. Nahoon... they want to rename it to be something more local, however their racism has blinded them to the truth.

East London's most popular beach is Nahoon Beach, named after a local Xhosa chief

A big effing fail from the ANC on this one.

At least the people in the squatter camps have more brains than the ANC:

The first round of public hearings into name changes in Buffalo City saw residents object to the proposal, calling instead for service delivery and housing.
Emotions ran high as an estimated 200 residents at Gompo Hall in Duncan Village accused government of not getting their priorities right.
Concerned residents said government’s efforts should be doubled on service delivery and alleviating poverty instead.
This call was highest among communities from informal settlements.
Squatter camp resident Mbulelo Kote, from Readymix near Cambridge, said he only attended because he thought the meeting was about housing.
“What will a name change do for me now while I live in a squatter camp?” he asked. “We live in squalor and are called for such things,” he said.

Wie die hel is Leon Meyers? I've been living in Parkside since 1993 and never heard of the prick.
 
Nahoon has some of the best houses/views in EL. Imagine the devaluation from living in a place called "Mpumelelo Bhonco". Sounds like a squatter camp.

Gompo Town is an existing low-cost housing/squatter camp. Now they want to name the entire East London after it? I guess they want a true reflection of their service delivery.

Wonder how long until they change the main street from Oxford Street to whatnot ... and then advance to the suburbs Cambridge and Stirling.

I'm tired of these c*nts fscking up my town.
 
While I can't even pronounce some of those new names, is it not meant to be "Leon Meyer" (without an s)? A quick Google search indicated that they have the surname wrong but I am not certain.

Worst part is, they are renaming it to some random Xhosa names, selfish...

The point is, Nahoon is ALREADY a isiXhosa name, named after a local chief back in the day. These ANC mullets are too stupid to realize this and thing its an English name, so want to change it to another name.
 
Even though I don't live there, I agree with all of you, it's insane and retarded. What possible justification, what possible good impact can this have? I remember way back when the ANC started this bull****, they said they would change only "offensive" names...

How the hell are any of these offensive?
 
the ANC is once again stirring up emotion and moving away from the reality of service delivery....
 
Bloody racist imperialistic agent white people how dare you defy ANC by disagreeing to name changes. Don't you know this is election year, where are your manners!

Yeah, stinkthumb and I were just discussing how we would love to have a bit more cash and get our hands on some of these municiple workers. We were thinking of starting with the guy that runs the waste disposal system... the one that pumps all the poo in the ocean... having a physical discussion with him and then water boarding him in his own sewage.
 
I can't even pronounce half the names on there how am I going to correct myself?

Not condoning the these senseless name changes but I just had to point out the prejudice and the logic fail in your post. Do you know that some of the most expensive and exclusive places in SA have ethnic names...eg. Umhlanga, Zimbali, Kyalami, etc... there really is not much correlation between the name and the value of properties in a place.

BTW...I always thought that East London already had a Xhosa name, i.e. eMonti. Where does this new one come from now?
 
These guys are sneaky bastards, the other day I was watching the weather report and noticed that Nelspruit had become mBombela or something like that and I dont ever recall anything about that in the media etc. In Durban as well, besides the controversal changes they have also secretly 'corrected' the spelling in some of the more ethnic names ie Umchlanga, toti etc.
 
If there is seriously a strong will to have a local name I don't have much of a problem with that, but why don't they just give a place two names: eg. I live in EL, Ke Dula <insert ethnic name>

and whala... geen probleem nie.
