[DEBATE] : (Fwd) Durban roads: drive left, rename left/nationalist

[peter waterman]

Patrick:

Would it be contrarian of me or simply naive to ask what is wacky about, for 
example, Lilian Ngoyi Rd? She, for one, is too-little remembered.

I would only suggest a line or two underneath the new name giving 1) the old 
name (so that people can still find their way round Durban) and 2) something 
on who the new street is named after.
