2025-01-20 15:00:47 +02:00 | Linda | No I do not | Icon is not South African | This seems like a useless waste of tax payer's money for no good reason. |
2025-01-18 09:44:27 +02:00 | James | No I do not | Name erodes social cohesion | Firstly colonised by the Anglo Saxon now looks like we are being conquered by the Arab When will we have our true African Identity However, if you're looking for an African historical name for Sandton, you might consider: - "Mmakau" (the name of a local Tswana chief who lived in the area) |

2025-01-10 07:47:46 +02:00 | Dirk | No I do not | Financial implications | Build a street and town and call it what you want, leave the existing towns and street names as is. This is stupid and wasting of MONEY. The government steel and waste to much money on incomplete projects and open doors for corruption. |
2025-01-09 10:01:39 +02:00 | Vivian Mapitso | No I do not | Icon is not South African | We as South Africa have a lot of struggle icons that are not recognized. We should look into our history and have one of them to rename Sandton. We do not have to look at the ruling party only. There are other parties that were active during the struggle like Azapo. When is Steve Biko going to be honored, only in speechies . Its about time he is recognized |

2025-01-08 17:40:37 +02:00 | Jackie | No I do not | Financial implications | Rather let the amount it would cost go towards housing for the poor |

2025-01-08 16:59:38 +02:00 | D | No I do not | Political motivation | How will renaming a street change history? |

2024-12-09 14:21:54 +02:00 | Amanda | No I do not | Political motivation | At least name it after a stalwart financial South African giant to keep the link with wealth creation. What about Trevor Manual drive or pravin Gordhan drive if you insist on changing it. A foreign unknown terrorist? Really? Anotherpoorly thought out idea courtesy of the ruling party. I love this country and all it's people but for heavens sake put clear minded, logical, practical people in power. |

2024-12-03 14:29:25 +02:00 | Talia | No I do not | Other | A terrorist should not be honoured for their actions, they should be condemned. It is not an honourable act. It is an act of TERROR. Against the rights of human beings! What are we teaching our children then? It is a bad example. She is not South African either so I don't see why she should be honoured at all. |
2024-12-02 16:08:20 +02:00 | Zimele | No I do not | Political motivation | Renaming a major road in South Africa by motivation that is purely political and fails to express our nature, history and development as South Africans is not a good route. And it is worse when you find that the new name is of someone who is does not represent exceptional figurism that brings us together however divides us. |
2024-12-01 08:45:55 +02:00 | Michelle | No I do not | Name erodes social cohesion | If a name change is deemed necessary, select any other words: NOT people's names. |
2024-11-29 12:22:22 +02:00 | Debra | No I do not | Political motivation | We don't support terrorists. |
2024-11-29 11:55:45 +02:00 | Modise | No I do not | Icon is not South African | Name it Biko Drive, Matlhangu Drive, Rainbow Drive, or (Any Bushmen Term or Name) Drive. |

2024-11-28 06:42:38 +02:00 | Jasmyn | No I do not | Political motivation | Naming a main road after a foreign terrorist is not ok. There are enough heroes in this country to choose from should they feel the absolute urge to rename a street every 2 weeks. Rassie Erasmus Drive / Dricus Du Plessis Drive - as a start |
2024-11-27 07:51:29 +02:00 | Harry | No I do not | Icon is not South African | We dont support terrorists |
2024-11-25 14:33:25 +02:00 | Beverley | No I do not | Political motivation | Stop fooling around with street names, rather use the money to fix the roads. |
2024-11-23 08:34:27 +02:00 | Ncumisa | No I do not | Icon is not South African | |
2024-11-22 05:41:10 +02:00 | Louisa | No I do not | Financial implications | In South Africa we have sooooo many problems. Waisting money on such insignificant matters is borderline criminal considering that some communities don't have water or electricity and other basic services. These types of frivolous expenses should not even be considered |

2024-11-19 07:13:35 +02:00 | Ronita | No I do not | Other | Never heard of this person. I am from Johannesburg but now live in Durban. The ANC is famous for not listening to the people. They make a sow of listening to the people but pay no attention . We woke up one day in Durban and and many main roads throughout the city was renamed at one time. Atrocious! |
2024-11-18 20:39:27 +02:00 | Peter | No I do not | Other | Renaming Sandton Drive to Leila Khaled Drive is celebrating the first woman to hijack an airplane, and that is unacceptable. The road should remain called Sandton Drive as this is a name that people know. |
2024-11-13 18:48:11 +02:00 | Rubin | No I do not | Name erodes social cohesion | Name changes are absurd generally and Sandton took 50 years to become globally recognized. Changing the name of one of the most well known streets in the country to such an unknown person makes no sense and will cost a fortune. |
