Good day,

I am strongly opposed to the overwhelming majority of the proposed name 
changes, as per the document available at
http://www.durban.gov.za/durban/Municipality/municipality_news/durban-street-name-changes/view.

In my opinion, the place to honour political figures is on monuments and in 
history books, not street signs.  Thus, changing street names for the mere
purpose of changing them is a huge unwarranted expense.

Changing descriptive names such as "Pinetown Civic Centre" would seem to be 
counterproductive.

Some of the proposed names aren't even South African heroes.  For exaple, 
"Fidel Castro", "Yasser Arafat" and "Che Guvara" (which is misspelled!) have
little or no bearing on this country or city.  

In conclusion, name changes on this scale will serve only to confuse and enough
public money has already been spent already on such foolishness.

Yours sincerely,
Jeremy Thurgood
