"Let's rename Cape Town International Airport after Mama Winnie Mandela. There's no currency under the sun that could ever repay her contribution to our freedom. This is not to repay her, but to inspire ourselves into accepting the already demonstrated truth that women have led and liberated us as true, gallant fighters and warriors in the struggle," said Malema.
But the ANC's Dikeledi Magadzi dismissed the EFF's argument as nothing more than an attempt to score cheap points in the run-up to the general elections. "The current draft motion by the EFF is fundamentally flawed. Parliament is not constitutionally empowered to resolve on any name change, nor is it within its ambit to process the renaming of any institution or structure within the republic," said Tom, adding that it was the responsibility of the South African Geographical Names Council to deal with name changes.
Arg! always name changes..when are u building something new then name it with pride..no development or construction of new structures or towns since 1994 just busy changing names..eish! if victory mentality is like this..it has no progress
How ironic our times
Why did they then accept the tabled notice of intent. Stop playing games and start being objective and transparent
EFF/DA do they vote together for tenders in JHB and Tshwane.
Good short. We cannot allow everything to be named after Mandela's
Please. A mere detail in Juliarse's world.

ANC shoots down plan to rename Cape Town airport after WinnieThe ANC - along with some opposition MPs - rejected an EFF-sponsored motion in parliament calling for the renaming of Cape Town International Airport after anti-apartheid icon Winnie Madikizela-Mandela. Useless organisation.. Vote EFF Facts don't matter in reporting anymore. How about the fact that a body responsible for name changes is in the process of deliberations. How about the fact that parliament doesn't have the constitutional mandate to change geographical names?
