We refer to the abovementioned matter, as well as to Government Notice No 44181, dated 23 February 2021. This notice was contained in the Government Gazette in which the official geographical names were published, including the proposed change of the names of Port Elizabeth to Gqeberha, Uitenhage to Kariega and the Port Elizabeth Airport to the Chief Dawid Stuurman Airport. In terms of
Gazette 44181, Volume 668 (23 February 2021), we are lodging a complaint
in respect of the renaming of Port Elizabeth to Gqeberha, Uitenhage to
Kariega and the Port Elizabeth Airport to the Chief Dawid Stuurman
Airport. While citizens are in favour of transformation in the names of
Cities, Suburbs etc, the change from Port Elizabeth to Gqeberha, Uitenhage
to Kariega and the Port Elizabeth Airport to the Chief Dawid Stuurman
Airport has been met with uproar in many quarters in the Nelson Mandela Bay
Metro. The residents of Nelson Mandela Bay are very unhappy about the
outcome and feel that this name is not a true reflection of their wishes.
Please fill in the
required details below in order to make the submission.
Closing date for
submission of complaints is Sunday, 21 March 2021 at 12H00. |
