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. |

2025-03-14 21:04:47 +02:00 | Pieter | No I do not | Other | The names are heritage. There was nothing, empty spaces, and the europeans built city's there. Now the ANC wants to change city's names into whatever. PE? Into geberba quegeberba or whatever. Why? Dit some ancesters of the ANC claim to have had a pandokkie there? |

2025-03-14 20:58:38 +02:00 | Lizette | No I do not | Name changes in general | The making of new signage, reprinting of maps , ….. etc are some of the results and COST MONEY! 1. It is better to relieve poverty or play with names ? 2. GOOGLE AND INTERNATIONAL GPS Do not care!!!! So the names are only changed by some with EGOS in little SA! 3. Annoying to try and get from A to B with poor public transport (all money STOLEN) to rent a car and navigation and GPS did not follow the UTTERLY USELESS NAME CHANGES 4. The name changes are for a very very very very very small % of the population (largely politicians as PLEASE REMEMBER THE ILLITERACY ID VERY VERY VERY VERY HIGH ????? 5. So only the politician suggesting the name change benefits (maybe?) and ABSOLUTELY NOBODY ELSE!!!! 6. We do not need more committees being made more money for more USELESS WORK - apply the funds budgeted to a BETTER USE ! I.E. relieving POVERTY AND HUNGER!!!! |
2025-03-14 17:10:19 +02:00 | Marcelle | No I do not | Name changes in general | Enough is enough. Who benefits.....only the government. How has it help SA.? If the past is left in the past then SA might have a brighter future |
