No need there is a huge backlog in service delivery across the city to be addressed

The can't build houses and fix roads but they want to rename a road that will still be know after it changed

Name change won't bring service delivery ,we need to rebuild this broken Country not to misuse public money on day light dreams

Why the donner does it need to change, the government must then start subsidizing us for all the updates we need to make on out Tom Tom & Garmin devices, had to pay R900 to update to the latest RSA map. Stop changing the bloody street names because of boredom. Rather fix the road

Can the govt move swiftly on this one pls ✊🏾

They should call it Necklace Road!

How will the ANC distract us when all the names are changed?

Construct new quality roads. That's better than renaming existing ones.

Lot of places already named after Winnie Mandela

Why dont we name one of te Prisons after Winnie Mandela. Or the GOODYEAR factory

I vote for 'Stompie drive'

Have we run out of other names?🤔

Unnecessary expenditure when R500 Billion stealing still not accounted and still no arrests, let that money be diverted to job creations and other Gauteng roads improvement, there are meaningful ways in this times of Covid-19

What is this nonsense? The MYANC cannot provide basic services, but....

Hahahahahaha the whole world is laughing at this SA circus 😂😂

Call it stompie disgusting bitch.

LOL, what a joke. 500bn GONE!!!!!!!!, and now they renaming streets. Who give a flying hoot what you call it. Its a trivial problem compared to what the status of RSA is at the moment. Rename corruption to commission and ALL our problems are over. YIPPPPPPPEEEEEEE. 🤡 CLOWNS

Distraction

Anything's fine. Spend the money

She deserves more than that.. name one of the airports in her name also. Is William Nicol synonymous to Winnie Mandela?

Moordenaar straat.

Another way to use money🙄,Just build a new big useful hospital and maybe call it Winnie , But i guess the name makes no difference.

Give Winnie Mandela the most hated road in the north of Johannesburg... thanks ANC government

This is just another excuse for the myanc cadres to “eat”

Fuck we the cape town...international airport...bomsunery...not that offramp that u get stuck there for hours...its disaster that offramp everyday... Winnie was not a disaster zinja ndini

Cape Town International or nothing

Terrorist , the ' necklace ' woman , rather name it ' Stompie Sepei ' !!!!!!!!

this is just an EFF vs ANC fight. they are all trying to claim her. if William Nicol Drive get renamed after her, then the ANC claims her; and if the Cape Town International Airport gets renamed after her, then the EFF wins, and she becomes theirs.

How bout afterbirths highway?

Who is William Nicole by the way. Even now we are unable to change Wotkoppen road to Florence Muposho road.

Stompie!! Eish

We have a country on the brink of economic collapse,we all suffer from the corruption and looting of the Zuma years with no one convicted and we want to waste time and energy on changing a street name,the mind boggles

It can be called whatever the powers that be choose, but not using MY tax money to do so

No,leave it as it is. But if you really want to replace the name of an old whitey try and find an old black lady who wasn’t accused of ordering beatings, torture and murder! You might as well call it George Floyd Boulevard. Come on guys, have some self respect. You can do better.

This name change soapy has actually been dragged unnecessarily. Let all municipalities in the RSA be GRANTED 180 days to effect name changes once & for all, but exclude 1. Political figures 2. Vulgar Street & Area Names Preferably 1. Independant eg Lengana/mhlonyane/aloe road

Is that what a country needs really🤔🤔🤔🤔ANC's injudiciousness is badly/glaringly exposed

And thereafter We will change all those with Williams as surnames to Madikizela, they must feel what Our grandparents felt when they were changed their surnames from Makhathini to Mccarthy Mthimkhulu to Grootboom..

Rather use money to build a new road, park or school. Name it after her. Why spend millions in renaming? Why not build something new?

Cape Town international Airport too

Who benefits from it, people need jobs and money is be chowed left right abd Centre, we must do we away with this corrupt and selfish system. We need jobs and money to start our own businesses

Look, as with everything these clowns have renamed, it all turns to shit anyway. Rather they get it over and done with so that they can look on at the heap of kak they named after each other. Why not start with Jeppe and Kliptown first?

Seems like a couple of Caucasian face lifts and black like me overdoses are self-evident

They must bring out a tyre in her name.

No, Just build another street or a new town pls

Let's honour the struggle stalwart, the road should bare her name, I don't know why this is up for debate. Whoever is against it should go and build a William Nicol in Australia, or Zimbabwe or Nigeria. We are going to name it after her Period. 🙏❤️

Do we really have money for this? Especially during all this COVID corruption

Are they going to call it stompie drive

No need there is a huge backlog in service delivery across the city to be addressed

FFS No!!! Stop corruption first.

The tyre necklace queen! The murderer of Stompie! Why did Nelson divorce her?

Who cares, just change everything to black names and stop crying already

Feed the nation, build schools, fix roads, fix sewerage and water. Must we name more. Who cares what a road is called when people go hungry and have no jobs! Shame on you CityofJoburgZA

Yes !!we also need CAPETOWN AIRPORT to be named WINNIE MANDELA AIRPORT
