Cornelius Mulder of the FF+ argued that it should be Mthatha Airport in the Eastern Cape that is renamed after Madikizela-Mandela‚ since she was born in that part of the country.
"If you want to name an airport ... Mthatha makes sense. She was born in Mbizana and there's a long history in terms of that‚" said Mulder. At the end of the debate‚ Mthembu tabled amendments to Malema's motion. His amendments recognised that the names of other anti-apartheid activists - such as Albertina Sisulu‚ Robert Sobukwe and Khoisan princess Krotoa - should also be considered by Acsa and the SAGNC.Malema later argued that the ANC had completely missed the point of his motion‚ saying he was not calling for an immediate name change but rather for parliament to throw its weight behind the name Madikizela-Mandela.
because that comes from Malema?!!! politicians are very shallow minded people
Very misleading headline. Political agenda?
Changing a name costs millions which govt doesn't have. Plus wtf was Winnie besides an alleged murderer?
MYANC
That's a lie
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?
Sellouts. Always new Pac were the real liberators
Vote EFF
Useless organisation..
