Bongumusa Jwara: I don’t have a problem with it. I think it is a part of the change for the country. It’s good that a national icon is getting a road named after her. I think it will be perfect for the country.
Fourways locals were asked to weigh in on the name change from William Nicol Drive to Winnie Mandela Drive.
Here’s what they had to say…
Mbongeni Nkomo: I think it’s a great move, for real. Economic-wise, I don’t know but looking at the history, the Mandelas were well-respected.Kyran Laws: It’s not too much of a problem. I only see the problem coming down to map readers, but I mean, if you’re going to change it on the GPS then it should be fine for most people.
