Court was right to set aside name change

I agree with the decision of the supreme court of appeal which set aside the name change of Louis Trichardt to Makhado.

I agree with the decision of the supreme court of appeal which set aside the name change of Louis Trichardt to Makhado.

The court's decision shows that nobody is above the law. This will send a message to Minister of Arts and Culture Pallo Jordan.

The Hlanganani Concerned Group tried without success in 2002 to advise the municipality against the name change because people were not consulted.

The majority of the Louis Trichardt council have voted in favour of restarting the renaming process. This time the consultation must be done properly.
