ANC wants Pretoria name change: report

[James]

The ANC has placed changing Pretoria's name high on its list of priorities for 2014, Beeld reported on Monday.

The party in Tshwane would "act decisively" to ensure the Pretoria/Tshwane debacle was concluded in the new year, a senior African National Congress official in the region told the newspaper.

The metro is currently called Tshwane, and the city is still known as Pretoria.

Strange how they keep banging away at the same old issues instead of focusing on things that will make a tangible difference to the people of the city. Jobs, I would think is a lot more important that wasting money on this issue. And if it's so important, then they can change the name at a later date when the big issues have been put under control.

The problem is that they simply don't have the know-how nor the drive to actually focus on the things that needs to be addressed. Spending money and enriching a select few at the top is their main priority and sadly this means that the folk at the bottom of the ladder gets overlooked again and again.

Now elections are coming up and they need to provide something tangible to the nation and so they find something like this name change to hammer on about.

It really makes no sense to waste millions or even billions on something like this but sadly it is just another stepping stone to get rid of the "boer".

It saddens me that riots and strikes can be sparked over smaller things but when the inefficiency of government is pointed out then it is back to the blame game and no one bats and eye

Desperate times called for desperate measures. The ANC know they're plummeting fast - next up when they start getting seriously desperate, you'll hear that EVERYONE GETS A FREE FARM! \:d/
