Two years after Durban's streets and buildings were "renamed" by the eThekwini Municipality, the legality of the process is to come under judicial scrutiny.

Before the Durban High Court on Tuesday is an application by the DA and the IFP, who are seeking to have set aside the council's controversial decision to rename about 100 streets, roads, highways and two buildings.

If successful, the original names would have to be restored and the council would have to begin the process anew.

Both parties claim they are not opposed to street renaming, only the way in which it was done.

Yeah yeah
My party IS opposed to this BS operation. In fact we had a party last night while load shedding was going on and decided that this street naming debacle should just go away all together and a different scenario should be introduced to recognise the struggler's.
