The City of Ekurhuleni is making 44 name changes to roads in the metro, among other renaming efforts for theatres, clinics and precincts.
The name changes were first proposed in February 2019 and approved by the city council in September of the same year. The office of the executive mayor confirmed that the replacement of the physical signage for the roads is now taking place and will be an ongoing project.
In a statement on Tuesday (12 October), the city said that the names change form part of a two-year process undertaken by the African National Congress (ANC) led coalition in Ekurhuleni, which included extensive public consultation and numerous legislative approvals.
