"The Netherlands embassy in Queen Wilhelmina Avenue should refuse to accept a new name," the Partij voor de Vrijheid (Party for Freedom) said in The Hague yesterday. Dutch deputy minister for education and culture Halbe Zijlstra was asked in a parliamentary question if he was aware of the name changes and whether he thought they were a "slap in the face of the Dutch royal family".
The party said the ANC planned to change 27 Pretoria street names, including Queen Wilhelmina Avenue.
