North West Seeks Name Change

I thought this as well. But then I realised that, except for the few roads leading into the province, there aren't really any "North West" signs. So even from a pillaging point of view it seems pointless to me.

I might be wrong though. What serious money can be made from changing a province's name?

Maybe his sister has a mapping company?

Mapping company, webdesign, letterheads etc etc...

A stationary company alone will make a killing on a province name change.
Then they will need all new websites for all the provincial departments.
 
The Nort West - a series of linked potholes on the way to the Northern Cape...
#$%#$ another compas bearing...
 
I'm sure they can come up with something better than the "North-West" province. I've found it to be rather silly as well.

It was called Wes Transvaal at first, wasn't it? Sounds fine to me.

Ah, ok.
It all still seems so pointless and purely cosmetic. What is this, Pimp My Province?
 
Ok...lets lay this out to see if we can spot the gaps in thought.

Basic process of problem, action, results will do.

Problem: ?
Action: Change name of the province
Result: ?

Methinks something is not right.

I think someone joked about a resolution to the provinces problems as
Step 1: Change name
Step 2: ??????
Step 3: Profit!
And they all thought this was genius because clearly changing the name leads to profit and profit is awesome...and all that's in the way are some squiggly lines which they don't recognise because they didn't get textbooks
 
From Lichtenberg back to Joburg - I had taken a detour on the way to Mafikeng in the morning which was better as I didn't waste an hour at one of those stop and go things.

Know anything about the Klerksdorp - Hartbeesfontein - Ottosdal - Delareyville part?

Going that route this weekend...

Just returned from Vryburg. The road is not too bad (besides Delareyville the town itself). They patched the road and there are no potholes. Just hope the patches hold for a couple for months! Going to be travelling that road for a while.
 
Change the brand of the gravy and people will forget and supply more gravy.
 
Largely the old Griqualand West?

Mickey, you need to update your map there a little bit, can I suggest Google Maps?
 
Ah, ok.

Of course its pointless, and it has nothing to do with cosmetics..

Its all to do with extending the gravy train and attempting to enrich a few connected comrades.
