No, Lis...it is a normal news server. The huge difference here is that it is the Chief Whip of the ruling party that is making this statement. :O^

EFF want Kruger National Park’s name changed
Posted by Leila Stein on 25 September 2019

The minority party used Heritage Day to reiterate it’s call for name changes to significant South African sites- including the Kruger National Park.

According to a statement issued over Twitter, the Economic Freedom Front (EFF) believe that the park’s name, after Transvaal President Paul Kruger, is a hangover from colonialism and apartheid and celebrates a shameful past.

‘On this day we reiterate our call for all apartheid colonial and public signs to fall. All statues of apartheid and colonial murderers must be taken down, including street and public property names like Kruger National Park,’ said the statement.

Although it did not include suggested names to replace Kruger, it did suggest new names for two airports. Accordig to the EFF, Cape Town International Airport should be changed to Winnie Mandela Airport and East London Airport to be changed to Steve Biko Airport.

It's starting to get ridiculous with all this name changing. In some cases it seems right, in others certainly not. If they want to change the name of Cape Town Airport they must change the name of the town too and there is certainly nothing "shameful" about that name 0*\

Paul Kruger was dead years before the "Apartheit" :O^

Just the right thing for promoting tourism O**

EFF calls for the renaming of the Kruger National Park in Malalane


The EFF’s deputy president, Floyd Shivambu, has challenged the government of the day to consider renaming the internationally acclaimed Kruger National Park.

EFF’s deputy president, Floyd Shivambu, during a march in Malalane.

Addressing EFF members in Malalane, Nkomazi subregion, on Wednesday April 7, during the organisation’s “Land Day”, Shivambu said that the Paul Kruger, who the national park was named after, never brought animals there or done anything significant to deserve such an honour.

“It is actually an insult that the park is, even today, named after Paul Kruger. Paul Kruger never brought animals to the park. As a matter of fact, the colonisers stole the land and forced our people away from these fertile and strategic pieces of land. The Kruger National Park needs renamed after our people,” said Shivambu.



The EFF used this day to send a message to billionaire Johan Rupert who is said to own a number of properties across the country.
Shivambu, joined by the Mpumalanga leader, Collen Sedibe, and the treasurer general, Omphile Maotwe, handed over a memorandum to the Leopard Creek management.

Leopard Creek is owned by Rupert.



“We are giving them 14 days to respond to our grievances and failure to that we will be left with no other option but to use other means to air our message. I can’t promise that the next time we come here we will be this peaceful,” said Shivambu after handing over the memorandum.

This march attracted over 1 000 of EFF members, including families who were allegedly driven away from Leopard Creek.
Shivambu said these families that were out off their own land are not even allowed to conduct African cultural rituals at their forefathers’ graves, which they claim are inside Leopard Creek.

Paul Kruger never brought animals to the park
=O: =O:

If it had been left as it were, there would not be any animals left and Kruger is a common name and only a name. Actually, it should have been called
The Sabi NP or Hamilton NP O**
