Why do you want to spent money to change Schroderstreet name? USED THE MONEY FOR THE ROADS IN UPINGTON WHO IS FULL OF HOLES

Mors van geld. Geen naam kan die omstandighede in die dorp en land verbeter. Wie de hel is die mens in elk geval en wat het hy tot die dorp bygedra.

This name change is not in the interest of the public. The money for this can be used for the upgrade the streets and potholes. The sewage system all so need a upgrade.

No streetname change will improve service delivery. They are waisting money, can use money to improve our town

The name should stay the same

There is a lot more important infrasteucture to be looked at and fixed rather than spending money on changing a name of a street

Dont change the street name, because why wasting money on none important things. The are more important things to use the money for. STOP WASTEFUL NAME CHANGES AND THE DISREGARD OF UPINGTON’S HERITAGE AND HISTORY

At this moment the poorest of the poor does not have drinking water for 6 days at Donkerhoek. They have money to change names but cannot give a basic need. Everywhere in Upington drains are overflowing. Trying to change a street name and the way they are doing it, it doesn’t make sense. There are so many new streets in the settlements that needs to be named.

It is senseless and unnecessary to change names.

My guesthouse/business is located in Schroder Rd. I do not want a name change - it is a total waste of time and money and will only confuse my guests. Unnecessary and wasteful to try and erase our town's historic origin.

Liesel Gerber (Upington, 2025-07-19)

It’s absurd.

Celeste Eggers (Keimoes, 2025-07-19)

It will ruin our towns history. It is costly and unnecessary.

Judy Swart (Upington, 2025-07-19)

#448

Onnodige onkostes vir 'n vaalende munisipaliteit wat nie huidiglik die krag, water of riool (onder andere) in stand kan hou.

It is an unnecessary change in the town. It shows disrespect towards the history of our town and the finances and attention that is getting spend on this case can be better used in matters that are more essential, like fixing roads or broken water pipes.

Marquerite Swart (Upington, 2025-07-19)

#458

The money coul be put to better use like repairing pot holes and doing other more essential maintanance

Felicity Steenkamp (Upington, 2025-07-19)

Schroeder street is coming a long way so why should it been change to what so called politicians want it to be changed... The streets history is the reason upington is well known besides the orange river

DKM cannot maintain the current streets and everything is falling appart. Who will pay for all the expenses to change the names? Only our tax payers again.

Ek teken die petisie want ek is lief vir my dorp en om ons hoof straat se naam te verander beteken ons gee nie om oor die mooi dorp se geskiedenis ek wil seker probeer maak die dorp bly so mooi soos wat hy is

Dis onnodige geld mors... Upington is vervalle... Dreine loop oor... Strate is vol pot holes... Byna elke nag bars daarn waterpyp... Niks word onderhou nie... Onbelangrik om geld te mors op straatname... Huidige strate se name word ni eers opgeverf nie... As jy nie die dorp ken nie... Weet jy ni waar n straat is nie... Nou moet als weer op Google verander word... Besighede moet onnodige k9stes aangaan om hul adresse te verander... Dis regtig belaglik... Waarvoor????

Changing the name of Schröderstreet is waste of money

Awie Venter (Upington, 2025-07-19)

I’m signing this petition because I feel that the money could be spent on more important things.
Like fixing potholes as well as replacing streetlight bulbs.

Johan Swiegers (Upington, 2025-07-19)

I think the name already has a respectable meaning and I don't think the funds should be used so fruitlessly.

Vermorsing van geld en wat ht die ou gedoen in die opbou van Upington.

JG Calitz (Upington, 2025-07-19)

Why the money spend on steets rename.
1. There is people that don't have food, blackets or a roof over their head.
2. At least ones a month we don't have water or electricity.
3. The Municipality's office inside - even I don't want go inside to do business with you.
4. Do some office clientetraining.
5. We needed a 4x4 to drove Upington's streets.
6. ETC.....

I have a business in schroder street and having to change all signage, business cards, social media asf is going to cost thousands!! Why change the name. Please rather fix the open holes from all the burst water pipes! Fix the dirty tap water! Fix the dirty water flowing into the orange river

Jeannette Borghesi (Upington, 2025-07-19)

#545

There is no justification to change an existing street that have been with us for more than a hundred years! Surely there are new streets being built in new extentions and communities that can receive these names!

Ciel Fouché (Upington, 2025-07-19)

Schroder straat is al deel van die geskiedenis.

Munisipaliteit kan liewers daai geld gebruik om aan basiese dienslewering te spandeer.

Dis absoluut 'n geldvermorsing. Spandeer die geld aan die infrastruktuur van die dorp. Doen herstelwerk. Bou nog damme. Verbeter die dreinstelsel sodat die riool nie oorloop in die paaie of binne in die kanaal en rivier nie. Geld kan verseker beter aangewend word.

Marlieta Bruwer (Upington, 2025-07-19)

Schroder Straat has actual historical meaning. Rather spend money on developing black communities or build a new road in the name of one of the Upington 26. Bult Straat was already renamed after these criminals. Leave our heritage alone!

Straat met al Upington se geskiedenis en monumente, sal wegbreek maak van die bestaan van Upington. Verandering gaan lui tot erge logistieke probleem met die lengte van nuwe straat naam ook.

Rupert Viljoen (Upington, 2025-07-19)

I'm signing because I live in Upington, I grew up in Upington and the town's history is important. Schroder street is the main part of Upington's history.
