Gillooly's Interchange be renamed after anti-apartheid human rights lawyer and Rivonia triallist, advocate George Bizos;
Olifantsfontein Road be renamed Winnie Madikizela-Mandela Road, after the anti-apartheid icon and politician affectionately known as the"mother of the nation"; andOther proposed street name changes include Snake Road , Edenvale Road , Ego Road and Kliprivier Road . The city said it owns 35 of the 42 roads identified for renaming; the rest are owned by either national or provincial government. Negotiations with the relevant government spheres will now take place.
It's not only roads that will get new names. “We must build a city whose landmarks, highways, streets and intersections bear a resemblance of all the people who make up its population,” said"The collective identity and moral image of the city must be drawn from within the histories of the whole population. The children of our city must grow up in an environment that bears names that are familiar to their home languages and of people they interface with in their everyday lives.
Ekurhuleni can't manage a consistent garbage collection. Some areas have power outages once or twice a week for hours. The call centre barely works. But plenty money to change names. Maybe get the fundamentals right first.
