To change a street name, won't change anything.
It cost a lot money, unnecessary.
Onnodige finansiële uitgawe vir besighede in Schroderstraat.

I’m signing in because I do not want the name of Schroderstreet to be changed to another name. It must stay the same

It does not make sense from a historic or geographic or even political perspective.
Nor financially!

Money could be better use for public service delivery

It is an unnecessary expense to the municipality and a violation of our town heritage!!!

Money should be spent to help the towns poor instead of changing names of streets.

Jason Benn (Upington, 2025-07-20)

Want die regering wil geld mors om dorp- en straatname te verander terwyl die belangrike goed agteruitgaan

In-state of changing name it will be much better to improve our city by servicing all street light and we can not change everything to black people names. White have also change this country. If we believe in democracy then let us stay together and build our city to the best. Changing name is one of corruption that took millions without trace. I'm young man black man who disagree with changing name of street.

There is more urgent matters than changing a street name. Service delivery and housing more problematic.

Ons geskiedenis sluit almal wat deel was van die verlede, in. Dis eensydig om slegs die regerende party se leiers te vernoem - asof slegs dit waarvoor hulle staan goed en reg is!
Dit gaan ook lei tot BAIE onnodige onkostes vir huidige besighede en mense wat agv die naamsverandering ekstra onkostes moet aangaan en oral hul huidige adres moet verander

Gerda Becker (Upington, 2025-07-20)

Buiten belastingbetalers se geld wat gesteel word, het naamsverandering geen waarde vir selfs dìè wat dit voorgestel het nie. Dit is ook n̈ finansiele las vir sekere individue en besighede. Laat diegene wat geld het om te verkwis en dit voorstel en ondersteun alle kostes asook die van besighede was belas word uit hulle persoonlike inkomste dra.

For me it is a financial issue. Rather spend that money on broken and natlackting infrastructure and lift our beautiful town up to its previous glory.

Kobus Flynn (Upington, 2025-07-20)

Why change the name of the street.
Rather use the money for potholes and services in Upington.

Upington is a historical place. Schroder street is in the history learning books. Why change street names for political reasons. If you want to honour one of your pass comrades name a street in the community where he lived. Do they know what the costing there off is on media, history books, maps, boards,
gps, ext. Why waist money if you cant even fix potholes, drain problems, water and bucket system. People wait for years for RDP houses but you DKM want to hange names just to try to make an impact in next years municipality elections. You want to rule but have no longterm planning and according the IDP plans of 2023-2027 lots of the suggestions and planning is not been done. Like DKM do not contribute to prevent crime. 5th rape (2 minors of 12&16 and 3 adult women) at one place in Paballelo with same modus operandi but when we consult with you to clean area you shift problem to Spoornet. Untill one of your family members are a victim what then ? but changing street name is more important. Eish I rest my case

Changing the name of Schroder Street is a gross waste of taxpayers money that could have been better used for service delivery.

Mare Venter (Upington, 2025-07-20)

I'm signing because you should focus on the problems like seweage and road repairs instead of simple things like changing road names.

Keeping Upingtons heritage as is. Not everything needs to be changed to the ANC prefference. We also still live in SA not only them. Stop wasting money and fix what needs fixing. People go hungry, the people that voted for ANC and infrastructure is a mess. Spend your clever thinking on that.

Jy kan iets 'n naam gee as jy dit gekoop het, gebou het of daaraan geboorte geskenk het.

Karina Marais (Upington, 2025-07-20)

The changing of the name is totally unnessasary and a total waste of money as the municipality can't even provide the needed basic services that we pay for and need help from the private sector to uphold the town. Now they want to change the bane of the main street which carries much of the heritage of the founder of Upington to a name that has no connection to Upington at all.

Costly changes to historic names keeps history from our children. Rather name new roads to recent people, thus the names will present what happened when in history.

Why waste money to change a street name, rather use the money to fix the streets.
It is unnecessary to change street names that have been there for years!

It is a waste of money that can be used more wisely. (Feeding projects, repair of potholes, repair of overflown sewerage systems, etc.

Changing of names, given originally, are not logical, productive or necessary. Waste of finances and embarrassing( money wasted and feels like it is just a slight of hand or opportunity to put something on social media)

You don't throw away history that easily.
The money can be used much better to uplift and develop.

Ek teken die om nie die naam te verander nie en wie die hell is hy en waar kom hy vandaan.. net nog n geld mors storie. DKM doen julle nodige werk in en om Upington. Kyk na paaie en water pype. En die skoon maak van die dorp en omgewing. Julle kan in elke geval net geld mors en op en af ry met mens

Yolanda Richter (Upington, 2025-07-20)

I find no value in the changing of the name. The current street name already has historical value that does not represent any connection to Apartheid. To change the name to that of a freedom fighter, does just that, it is once again a reminder of a past that needs to be laid to rest. Secondly, the money spent on such a name change can be put to better use to supply much needed services for the residents of Upington. I feel the municipality MUST get their priorities straight.
