The US is overbearing. It continues with its age long policy of violating an independent countrys sovereignity. Let the city council effect the street change. It should not dictate who bears what. The RSA wouldn't dictate whose name is placed on a street in NY as well. By the time they realize how much they're losing in visa fees, the consulate will be reopened.

I don't understand. Did they say SA should not go ahead with the naming? The only person being overbearing right now is you - imposing a change I don't like and forcing me not to react is dictatorial

ANC should not do that o.
Sandton is an iconic part of Jo'burg, and Sandton dr. seems to be the heart of the area.

ANC need to get their act together, Pretoria for one is not as beautiful as it used to be, likewise South African girls; the Mandela girls were ultra- beautiful. Granted there is a train service from Jo'burg airport to Pretoria now - they did well on that.

Did ANC actually win the last election cos the Democratic Alliance and Malema party did very well, if care is not taken the ANC could lose their majority by the next election.

Addendum: the interviewed lady/guest said it's RNC not really (or formerly) ANC. Am I the only one who didn't hear well. She looks like one of Ibori daughters I used to see in a newspaper.

I'll dedicate time to read a paragraph a day of this pro-apartheid israel vitriol. Starting tomorrow.
Seems y'all in SA do not enjoy the peace you're blessed with due to the very low number of Islamic terrorists Muslims in SA! We Nigerian Christians know what we are facing from Boko Haram and the Muslims over here!!!

Even their fellow ARAB brothers from neighbouring countries are too careful to unnecessarily get involved, but you SAns have been chest beating over what does not in anyway affect you!

Jordan accepted Palestinians in, and the PLO nearly overthrew the Jordanian King, if not for "Black September"..

All the rantings from you SAns are mere puff, why not allow the "Palestinians" and Hamas free access and outright citizenship in SA?
DO IT AND THE WHOLE WORLD WILL SEE HOW SERIOUS YOU ALL ARE!!

By the time you start experiencing suicide bombings and religious attacks with full scale Jihad, you lots will come back to your senses..

Most of the world believes in a 2 state solution, including SA. Those who believe in 'Israel takes all approach' are the evil ones who believe in domination and violence - the bloodthirsty rednecks in the White House included.

“Most of the world believes in a 2 state solution, but not the Palestinians.”

The so called “Palestinians” have rejected two state solution four times. As a matter of fact, if they truly want a two state solution today it’s easy. All they need to do is to put good governance structure in place and put their energies in developing the country but not digging underground networks to fight Israel.

I think there is a very important piece of information that is critical in our analysis of the situation. This is the MOTIVE for renaming the particular street. Any other street could be renamed after the activist but why this one. The answer is in what the ANC's first Deputy General said last year.

They have the right to rename the street and the U.S. also has the right to close their embassy. The question is, who will benefit or suffer if both happen.

This is good, they should rename the streets after all Palestinians fallen heroes. This is not enough, they should take on 20% of displaced Palestinians, this will really be a big relief and help the South Africa economy grow.

I think South Africa may soon be visited with terrorist attacks for their support for terrorist.

Really? Who do u think will lose more. Americans or southies? This renaming is a way to taunt another sovereign nation. If American consulate was already on the street with the latter name then no issues but clearly this renaming is a way of rubbing it in the faces of America. Didn't one of the southy government official same it? That the us letter head will bear the new street name as a way of mocking them? Diplomacy is key bro this is not diplomacy but a direct insult.

So, if the street was changed to George Washington or Theodore Roosevelt, it won't be on the consulates letterhead?

Two-state solution to enable Iran and his boys launch rockets and execute October 7th every Eke market day? There will never be two states in that area. As it stands, Gaza does not exist anymore. Maybe you need to be updated.

I will never let an enemy group build a house across my fence if I have the might to stop them. I will do everything to force them out of my neighborhood. That's exactly what Israel is doing. The same thing Russia is doing in Ukraine for desiring to plant NATO in its backyard.

I have never seen a president as petty as Donald Trump!
Just imagine Nigeria renaming a street after Abubakar Shekau the Boko Haram leader..

It's not about the name change, it's about the Mischief behind the name change, the pioneers of this nonsense specifically chose the exact street where the US consulate is located, and decided that they would name it after a known terrorist and plane hijacker? That's just too much!! You think the US will agree to have their official letterheads carrying the name of someone who was a well known terrorist??

I support the US decision to leave, if they can't rename it after someone who is not a terrorist, then they should go ahead with the terrorist renaming while the US moves out, simple as that, US no force dem

I wish SA would just do small mistake support Hamas attack Israel or make Israel just discovered say SA hand Dey involve on Oct 7th, so Israel will reduce SA to Gaza.

It’s long overdue for SA be dealt with. They are a terrorists state to Africa countries. They hated Nigeria and sees Nigeria as animals. I don’t know if it is jealousy or something. But I keep looking at their act of terrorism against anything Nigeria and I began to wonder if we are actually dragging anything with those terrorists but I couldn’t find anything. Then why are they so bittered in anything about Nigeria?

The US lost the monopoly of designating who is a terrorist and who isnt. In that case, it should also not continue to be exhibiting direct threats and aggression again and again against a sovereign country whenever it doesn't tow it's line.

Where was your outcry when your fellow African was brutally killed(shot multiple times) and stabbed by Hamas terrorists on October 7?

If you've got nothing meaningful to say, perhaps it's best not to engage. Feel free to believe your pro-Palestine nonsense, but don't expect everyone to indulge in your fantasy.

Even if the Israelis were to put a bullet at the back of your empty skull, you'd still come up with some crap to justify it with the last breath of your worthless soul.

If i was living under an apartheid system i would also commit Oct 7 - why is Israel surprised? Adhere to the 2 state, abandon apartheid policy and Palestinians won't be hateful of Israel and its allies.

Eveytime one Israeli is killed their name is splashed all over the media. When 1000s of Palestinians are killed no one is named. No wonder you were all surprised Oct 7 happened, Palestinians have been living under subjugation for decades.

Take stock of Israel's crimes for once.

Stop posting out of ignorance.

Go and read Hamas founding chapter.
Iran, Hezbolah and Hamas doesn't believe in Israel's right to exist. There is a giant clock in Iran that counts down to the day of Israel's destruction.

Israel only controls the border crossing to Gaza but doesn't control what goes on inside Gaza. They are doing so to restrict arms and prevent October 7 yet it happened. Israel provides water, electricity to Gaza for free and pays Palestinian Authority every month. What is Hamas doing with money from Qatar, UN agencies and Iran? Only to build under tunnels and hide after firing rockets into Israel then start shouting genocide.

If Israel totally controls Gaza, October 7 would never have happened.
