2025-03-19 10:44:28 +02:00 | Karen | No I do not | Name changes in general | I've grown up with the present names. It's recognizable . I'd get lost with name changes. I don't recognize some places with changed names. Also sentimental. |
2025-03-19 09:12:54 +02:00 | Bruce | No I do not | Name changes in general | waste of money and resources, these are being rolled out for neutral names too. |
2025-03-18 20:08:19 +02:00 | Walt | Not fully | Name changes in general | What are the end results of changing a name of a place? A better economy? Better service deliver? An improvement of the area that it affects? I can say for sure, none of the above. Instead of sitting in traffic and weaving through potholes in street "A", now we're sitting in traffic and weaving through potholes in street "B, formerly known as A". The townships nearby get no more attention given to their needs, nothing is done except line some tenderpreneurs' pockets. What does this seek to improve upon? What are the actual reasons why the name needs to be changed, and not a new structure/city/road be built with that new name? Letting go and breaking free from the past and building from the ground up a legacy that will stand. Why not that? Which will create tons of jobs, especially if given to new, up-and-coming businesses, and not well established ones. |

2025-03-18 14:06:16 +02:00 | Elma | No I do not | Name changes in general | Names depict history, and history tells a story, good or bad. You can't change it. Don't use our tax money for this unnecessary business! We are not interested in seeing new names, but in seeing less corruption, fewer politicians, and a safer country. |

2025-03-17 16:29:19 +02:00 | Annie | No I do not | Name changes in general | South Africa definitely have much larger issues to sort out than unnecessary name changes. Apart from the huge cost, it creates confusion. Money can go to many more worthwhile causes. |
2025-03-17 11:30:39 +02:00 | David | No I do not | Name changes in general | Changing names of streets etc is a GIANT wasteful expenditure. What is the purpose and the benefit to the citizen? Rather repurpose the funds to alleviate the plight of the poor, improve infrastructure, rural school conditions, essential medical services, improve water management etc. Or just fill the damned potholes.! WHAT HAPPENED TO COMMON SENSE? Does the Government think the SASSA and other social grant pensioners care a hoot about the names of the airports or street names? They would prefer an increase in grant moneys. Is the Government not here to serve the people’s needs? How many Grant recipients have petitioned for street name changes? |
2025-03-16 17:13:08 +02:00 | Mark | No I do not | Name changes in general | Elections revealed that SA citizens are tired of these money wasting ideological events costing millions of rands for nothing more than feeding money hungry useless committee people who add no value to the economy or South Africa. Just keeping on with expanding the public service that serves only to pay unemployable people with no meaningful outputs. |

2025-03-15 12:40:28 +02:00 | Joan | No I do not | Other | COST Until such time as SA has the luxury of engaging with new nice to have items such as this, there must be a moratorium on new name changes. |
2025-03-15 06:31:00 +02:00 | Brenda | No I do not | Other | In a country that is teetering on bankrupt, name changes should be the last thing we waste money on |
2025-03-15 04:16:02 +02:00 | Abdul Wasieh | No I do not | Other | How can the government change history. And they are wasting a lot of money. What they can change is the BEE to EMPLOYMENT EQUITY FOR ALL RACES. |
