The department of transport has confirmed that various names of late struggle stalwarts are being considered ahead of the renaming of Cape Town International Airport and the process could be concluded by the end of the year. The names include former President Nelson Mandela, Albertina Sisulu, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela and Robert Sobukwe. The SACP has also requested Chris Hani's name to also be considered. This comes after Economic Freedom Fighter's President, Julius Malema called for the airport to be renamed after Winnie Madikizela-Mandela. To find out about the process involved in changing a geographical name, we are joined in the studio by Johnny Mohlala, Chairperson of the South African Geographical Names Council.
