The name of East London, along with those of many other major Eastern Cape towns, will be changed.
MAJOR Eastern Cape towns, rivers and airports could have new names in the next few months. If the Eastern Cape geographical names committee has its way, East London will be renamed Monti or Gompo, with Port Elizabeth set to be named after former president Nelson Mandela as Nelson Mandela City.

King William’s Town could be known as Qonce, Grahamstown as Rhini, Alice as Dike and Queenstown as Komani or Nonesi.
Rivers will not be spared, including famous ones like Fish River and Kei River - to be known as Nxuba and Nciba respectively.
Both East London and Mthatha airports could carry the names of local struggle icons Mandela and Steve Biko respectively.
The East London suburb Nahoon could be known as Nxarhuni, and popular holiday resorts like Haga Haga and Gulu will be changed to Haka Haka and Gxulu respectively.

The black South African view on name changes
Seriously, is this a joke! As a black South African I have witnessed my relatives, friends and even general aquaintances starving, suffering, battling to live with no homes, meds, education, etc.
Yet idiots like Mozet, Piri & Ngwane (claiming to be proud black SA citizens) turn their backs on the true needs of our people? You moan about a NAME, while our people are dying like flies?
You try and justify that wasting this money on changing names is better than spending it on feeding, educating, clothing and housing our people? Are you blind or just stupid and ignorant? You point fingers at “colonials” - yet, YOU are actually the problem.
Do you walk to work/school? Do you hunt and eat your kill like our forfathers did? Do you live in mud huts or “colonial” houses? Do you own a cellphone? Funny, because in T/Kei where I come from, we would shout across the hills and sing our messages. Yes, you want everything the whities have, but you want to call it your own? Taking things “by force” does not make them yours. You are the hypocrites - actually, I have a stronger isiXhosa name to call you and your idiotic ideas, but I’ve wasted enough time already on reading your crap.
Spend our tax money on what it is ACTUALLY NEEDED for and stop blowing wind up your own asses - you are NOT as wonderful as you think you are.
Grow up and wake up! If it weren’t for those “colonials” helping me to get where I am, I would still be sitting in my hut, not even knowing what a computer is!
And if EVER I have seen a bunch of criminals who don’t know what the hell they are doing - it is our current government. Believe me - I will NOT make the mistake of voting for them again. Bring in people who actually know what they are doing, instead of the fatcats that are presently in power.
Viva South Africa - names and all! Stop bankrupting this country with nonsense!
Mozet and your fellow village idiots… andivumelani nawe. Ubenemini emnandi.
