Struggle icon Winnie Madikizela-Mandela's name is number one on the list of names being considered for the renaming of Cape Town International Airport, ANC national executive committee member Nocawe Mafu said during a party dialogue at Constitutional Hill in Johannesburg on Thursday. She was responding to a question posed by radio host Criselda Kananda-Dudumashe.
She added that fellow struggle veteran Albertina Sisulu's name was also being considered. This after the EFF's failed attempt to have National Assembly pass a resolution allowing for Cape Town International Airport to be renamed after Madikizela-Mandela. "The ANC-led government put together a council on geographic names and anything that has got to do with names – whether they are naming a town or street, it has got to go to that council.
lizTandwa Why not leave airports apolitical?
lizTandwa Didn't she kill a child ? ?
lizTandwa Public structures & infrastructure belong to the public: They should NOT be named after political party figures (ANY party), as these are inevitably divisive outside the party & in SouthAfrica, these opportunities r simply abused by the ruling party as a propaganda opportunity!
lizTandwa The ANC simply hijacks public infrastructure in order to glorify their party leaders because traditionally, this party sees no boundary between party and state! But it's about time they stopped this divisive practice & bought their own structures to name after their icons!
lizTandwa It's no problem if you want to glorify your party icons & leaders ANC, but put your hand in your own pockets, NOT that of SATaxpayers, when you want to celebrate them!
lizTandwa I couldn't care less how many buildings the ANC names after WinnieMadikizela: I simply expect them to name structures they actually OWN, after their own icons, and that they stop expecting SATaxpayers to pay for the glorification of their party leaders!
lizTandwa STOMPIE.
lizTandwa Lol
lizTandwa A magic trick ! How exactly will this cost ? Now once you have that number , go and see how many poverty stricken people’s lives you could change ! Isn’t that what people fought for ?
lizTandwa Please spend this money on improving the lives of our people
lizTandwa 'Winnie Madikizela-Mandela's name top of the list for Cape Town International Airport name change' Fixed it for you
lizTandwa Should def call it Jan van Riebeeck international, if not for him there would be no planes and airports in SA
lizTandwa The only county in the world that the want to honour a useless murderer
lizTandwa How can she top “Jan van Riebeeck International”? 🙄
lizTandwa there's also Sarah Baartman to consider
lizTandwa The ANC must not lie to us we know after the elections Nelson Mandela would be named as a preferred name for Cape Town international airport
lizTandwa When did the change of heart MYANC happen? Did they suddenly find substance in MamaWinnie? Or is this just one of those lip service with no real commitment just to lull the masses?
lizTandwa Oh WHY ?

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?
