What a shame that Bantu Biko has to be honoured by the DA with the renaming of a street in Gugulethu in Cape Town.

I hope this is a good lesson for the ANC. The party has failed to recognise the contributions to the liberation struggle by people other than its members. The ANC was in the government in Cape Town and the Western Cape for some time, but failed to change even the most offensive apartheid names.

I appeal to the ANC government: remove the statue of Louis Botha in front of parliament and replace it with Biko's or Robert Sobukwe's.
