Discussion | Big name changes for South Africa's towns

PRETORIA - Over 1,500 geographical names have been changed in South Africa since 1998. 

The South African Geographical Names Council - that's responsible for name changes - says these measures seek to redress and reform the country's system. 

Most name changes have occurred in KwaZulu-Natal with the Eastern Cape and Limpopo receiving the least. 

Council chairperson, Palesa Kadi, spoke to eNCA.
