The renaming of the Kruger National Park will have dire consequences, according to the tourism sector in Mpumalanga. This, after the provincial Legislature adopted a motion to rename the Kruger National Park, Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport and the Jan van Riebeeck Stadium in Witbank.
Other sections of the community suggest that South Africa should strive to build new opportunities, rather than dwelling on the past. They argue that the province should rather focus on other challenges, which require urgent attention.
The provincial Legislature passed the motion to change three names, including the Kruger National Park, on the eve of Heritage Day.
