JOHANNESBURG - Joburg Mayor Geoff Makhubo said the metro is in its final stages of the consultation process to rename William Nicol Drive to Winnie Madikizela-Mandela Drive.
Makhubo was speaking at a wreath-laying ceremony on Good Friday in remembrance of struggle veteran Madikizela-Mandela since her passing on this day three years ago. It said this move was in terms of its approved policy on the naming of streets and other public places.“We are on the last leg of our consultations and there is a concerted effort from our side to do this in the next two months. This road should not be named William Nicol anymore, but mme Winfred Madikizela-Mandela. We emulated her deeds in serving the people of Johannesburg, the people of Gauteng and the people of South Africa,” he said.
Renaming this road after this shameless fraudster and co-accused in the murder of a young boy is fitting - smash and grabs, and hijackings on this road will now be considered appropriate behavior.
It's about time -
Winnie Madikizela was a convicted criminal & was involved in the murder of Stompie Sepei as an accessory. She kidnapped him & handed him over to the murderer. Can you imagine the terror of the 14-year old boy. We should & cannot celebrate people like this.
Great!!! Now ill always think of Stompie when I drive through
