Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality cyber criminal warning

Cyber criminal warning

The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality has warned its consumers to be cautious and guard against fake websites that seek to misrepresent the metro’s online account payments site called e-Siyakhokha.

Wow.. is that the best name they could come up for the payments site?

Probably, if you know the language.
I had to google to find out just what region the article is actually talking about.

I have no problem with people wanting area names in their own language, but consider your majority tax payers too, who speaks English and Afrikaans, and keep names that they know too! Why can't it be called the East Rand area or Gauteng municipality in an English article? Not implying that the writer should have written that seeing as it is probably officially named Ekuwotever; but we should at least officially have an English or even Afrikaans name for the place too, or rather keep the bloody name it got allready.

Interesting thing to note about Ekurhuleni's network:

The IT department somehow managed to set up the network with duplicated user accounts using the exact same spelling. This of course should not be possible at all.
