Schröder is die stigter van Upington.

En die dorp kort liewer instandhouding.

It is a waste of money
They could use the money for service delivery

Dit sal baie geld kos om daai straat naam te verander en ons sit met baie meer komerwekkende situasies..soos bv.hulle kan daai geld gebruik om die paaie reg te maak,werk te skep en spoel toilets vir die mense te bou in die plakkerskampe.

Onnodige vermorsing van openbare fondse in n dorp wat uitmekaarval en baie noodsaakliker behoeftes het.

Waarom probeer om die dorp se geskiedenis te herskryf en geld mors as daar soveel basiese dienste is waaraan die geld spandeer kan word.

Los n slag goed wat werk en gee aandag aan dit wat niè werk nie! Om n straatnaam te verander gaan nie die inwoners baat nie. Gebruik daai fondse wat jul hande nou so laat jeuk en verbeter eerder die omstandighede waarin ons mense moet leef. Dis taxes, levies en rates wat ons moet dra om te betaal vir tjol!

Dit is n onaanvaarbare mors van geld in moeilike tye. Die wordingsgeskiedenis van Upington word misken. Benoem nuwe strate. Los die oues uit.

Dis vermorsing van geld wat niemand se lewe beinvloed nie. Kyk eerder na die riool gemors en sit spoel toilette in en bou huise. Ons infrastrukture val alles uitmekaar. Vervang en onderhou dit eerder met daai geld. Kyk hoe swak word gate in pad reg gemaak.

It is a huge waste of money and NO ONE will use the new name anyway. Everyone will continue use Schroder street as per the other changes made.
It is a waste of money that can be spent somewhere else

The people who petition for these name changes should direct their energy and focus to worthy causes. Causes that will make an actual change in people’s circumstances, such as curbing domestic violence, gender based violence, and the multitude of children being abandoned by the men who fathered them. Name changing does not change the daily circumstances of the struggling peoples. Why are they wasting resources on these senseless diversions?

Marleen Van Dyk (Upington, 2025-07-18)

Do not want the names to change, it is part of the town history and would like to keep it.

Lorita Olivier (Upington, 2025-07-18)

It is a waste of tax payer money, and adds no value.

Francois Botha (Upington, 2025-07-18)

Because it's wrong to change such a old and historical name.

The name change is a waste of money that DKM does not have and also a big waste of money that can be used for a lot more worthy causes and the uplifting of the poor.

Annemarie Human (Upington, 2025-07-18)

This street name is part of Upington's heritage and has nothing to do with the "new" regime - then rather call it a Griekwa or Bushman name

Annelie Mans (Upington, 2025-07-18)

#283

Hierdie is n gemors v geld - totaal onnodig - gebruik die geld en maak ons paaie en strate netjies.

Annerie De Beer (Upington, 2025-07-18)

A total waste of taxpayers money to seek favour from non property taxpayers.
Not only affecting town but every map, digital or printed.
Spend ones on actual infrastructure.

It is unnecessary costs involved. Rather spend the money on infrastructure and things that need more urgent attention

Albertus Van Niekerk (Upington, 2025-07-18)

Please stop this craziness.
Build new streets and name them.
Schroder was good for this community.
Please keep the name.

Ek is gebore en getoë in Upington en het later in Keimoes gebly, hoekom n naam verander wat almal ken en waarvandaan Upington se hele geskiedenis afkomstig is. Dit kos geld en daardie geld kan beter spandeer word. Los die naam dit pla niemand

Vermorsing van geld;geld kan beter aangewend word ;bestee geld eerder om vakmanne op te lei in verskillende rigtings ;skep 'n nuwe kragstasie :kyk na Upington se dreinering;watervoorsiening ;stel mense aan om dorp skoon te hou ,skep beter polisiëring deur die munisipaliteit vir buurte waar rommelstrooiing enige plek voorkom, ensovoorts

That is part of upington's history and a disgrace to those who were part of it, even their families.

Charles Agenbag (Upington, 2025-07-18)

Dit is belaglik dat daar geld spandeer word om die straat naam onnodig te verander, wanneer die straat self nie op standaard is nie, mens moet skat waar die wit strepe in die pad is om te ry en daar bars gedurig pype een na die ander.

Lisa Marie Coetzee (Upington, 2025-07-19)

I'm signing because our Municipality is deep in debt and does not even have enough funds to repair the neccesities. Now they want to spend money on something redicilous like this name change. This is Not a neccesity. Our beautiful town is going down the drain due to poor management.

Yolandie Matthee (Upington, 2025-07-19)

Christo Liebenberg (Upington, 2025-07-19)

I think the municipality can really spend this money on something better

Name changes achieve absolutely nothing. It is mostly politically driven by parties or persons who failed constituants on many levels, especially with regards to service delivery in an attempt to score political points.
Build something new with your money and name that what you want.

People are starving. Roads are in a state of disaster. And the list goes on and on... Please use the money, use full, keeping infra-structure into place.

Dis deel van ons dorp se geskiedenis, en ook het ons plaaslike munisipaleit geen rede om soveel geld te mors met ons dorp wat reeds so agteruit gaan agv geen instandhouding nie.

Om ons erfenis en geskiedenis te behou. naamsverandering is onnodig en geldmors. In die skole leer hulle van Schroder en sy geskiedenis en wat 'n beter lewende voorbeeld as 'n standbeeld en straatnaam om die geskiedebis in konteks te plaas
