A long-running debate over place names in the Eastern Cape has taken a decisive step forward, with East London and Graaff-Reinet among several towns approved for renaming by Sport, Arts and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie.
This comes after East London is set to become KuGompo City, while the historic Karoo town of Graaff-Reinet will be renamed Robert Sobukwe Town, following the minister's approval of 21 geographical name changes nationwide, as per BusinessTech .
The decisions now await formal gazetting, which is expected to take place in the coming weeks.
