No matter that it costs millions in changes to maps, letterheads, business addresses etc, not to mention messing up GPS info. Much easier to do this than actually solving our problems of crime, health etc. A typical ANC skim-the-surface decision that makes the party feel good. . alan");

Steve Biko matters to some just as much as John Cecil Rhodes does to others. Makes no sense to complain here and then relocate to New Zealand, US, Australia or Canada where Whites fully embrace local indigenous culture.. tedious");

document.write("Country Must reflect ALL our collective Histories? Every Community has it's heroes. So why impose black heroes over white heroes? Why impose black heroes in white communities? Once again the problem is not the ANC's intentions, it's the way they go about it. I can't care less about name changes themselves(but then most of those names don't have anything to do with my 'culture'). So much energy spent on #### rather then real issues. Build houses and name the streets then. When EVERYONE in the country has a house, pick ONE DATE for the whole country, and change whatever names you want, instead of wasting time and energy on #### and changing names every 6 months. Typical Communist attitude where they think money appears out of thin air to WASTE on #### that so it looks like they doing something, when all they doing is avoiding real issues. Instead of sitting around for months on ens having council meetings on solving crime or housing backlog or ghost workers or creating jobs or improving education or improving service delivery or easing racial tensions or they sit around creating more divisions in the country... ########.

document.write("This is a thorny issue of course, and we get back to one mans meat, is anothers poisen (aka freedom fighter/Terrorist) Hero's should be celebrated for their achievements, look at America's airport JFK and LaGuardia (after a NY mayor) these icons are not changed everytime a Democrat or Republican changes office, are they. Whilst I may understand the FF's attitude towards name changes, I do not agree with their labeling of 'other peoples' hero's. What I have found extremely hard to understand, is how South Africa's most important ever son-JC SMUTS- based on his contributions not only to Southern Africa, but to the world as a whole, could be 'name changed' (just like that) Smuts, was no racist (see Fabian Institute) his name  was 'replaced' for being white (and maybe an achiever too) I would curl in my grave, if in 50 years, whites returned to power, and removed the name Nelson Mandela, from where it graces South Africa. That is why, I can understand the tension, it seems to be a unilateral decision, based only on 'majority will' and no consideration for the feelings of the minorities. In Britain, for example, remembering the Holocast was 'forgotten' this year, lest it upset the Muslim population, who deny it. Any European denying the holocast-see Dr David Irvine here- will be sent to prison! I think we South Africans can learn from all this, and celebrate our heros, like we allow religious tolerance, and not judge the term 'hero' on the basis of ones skin colour>  . Jollifier");
