Wat is die sin om 'n naam te verander wat meer as honderd jaar oud is en onnodiglik geld te verkwis. As gevolg van Eerwaarde Schröder het hierdie dorp grootliks sy oorsprong gehad.

The street name is special to Upington and businesses. Being a Upingtonner since I was 3 I strongly feel that changing the name is inappropriate and unnecessary and causes tension that is not needed.

It is a waste of funds to change names of streets while raw sewage run in the streets and service delivery vehicles ar not maintained an in a poor condition.

Dit is nie nodig om die straat naam te her noem nie, dit gaan nie oor politiek nie dit gaan oor die stigting van Upington.

It is a massive waste of resources that is being paid by our taxed money,it has no purposeful significance to enrich or help/uplift anybody in our communities to change the name as well as destruction of history made by the first settlers of Upington, gubula k@k did not do anything for Upington,if the name changes to gubula k@k then it would have been his only acomplisment to steal a piece of Upington history

I agree that this is a complete waste of tax payer money and the time of the municipality.

It is Absolutely RIDICULOUS To change our Towns NAMES or Street Names or Anything That was in THE Past..

Dienslewering in Upington geniet nie genoegsame aandag nie maar geld kan bestee word aan Straat naam veranderinge waarvoor nie begroot word in huidige boekjaar nie.
Gee aandag aan water verspreiding opgradering, riool verwydering en elektrisiteit verspreiding opgradering wat alle inwoners raak.

Melanie Craill (Upington, 2025-07-21)

I'm signing because of my grand parents that help build this town. Just another way to waste money. Rather fix the existing pavements and street names so that tourist can see them.

Dennis Malan (Upington, 2025-07-21)

#953

As a community we have to many shortcomings with regards to service delivery and infrastructure. Informal settlements is expanding why not give the new names there.


Los dit wat histories vir ons is want dus al wat daar is, maak julle eie geskiedenis deur waardevolle bydraes tot gemeenskap.
