Nelson Mandela and DF Malan will battle it out in the streets of Pretoria again. Following a court ruling yesterday Hans Strijdom, Vermeulen and DF Malan will once again be hoisted above the streets of Pretoria, to stand alongside their replacements, Solomon Mahlangu, Madiba and E'skia Mphahlele.The City of Tshwane yesterday lost its bid to challenge a 2013 ruling that interdicted it from removing the old street names.The municipality had replaced the names with the new ones in 2013 while the legal challenge by minority rights lobby group AfriForum was still pending.The renaming of Pretoria streets has so far cost the municipality millions of rands.After losing the appeal yesterday, the city must now put the old street signs back up, with the new names, by August 1.Tshwane mayor Kgosientso Ramokgopa yesterday said that AfriForum's "right-wing rhetoric" that the money spent removing the street names could have been used to improve service delivery implied that service delivery could be obtained only "in exchange for retaining all forms of apartheid-era heritage, identity and history rather than [in] defence of our hard-earned freedom and unity of our people".AfriForum lawyer Werner Human said the ruling was a victory for all who were "opposed to the cultural vandalism by the Tshwane Metro Council".Human said the city had targeted specific street names with exceptional historical cultural value for Afrikaners and other minorities.The council had acted maliciously when it had removed the old street names after learning that AfriForum was in the process of obtaining an order to retain the old street name signs.City of Tshwane spokesman Blessing Manale said the municipality would appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal."In our view the ruling will not pass the test of constitutionality, as it curtails the administrative functions of the municipality, and [tramples] separation of powers."He said the decision to display dual-name plate signage was to satisfy the "colonialist egos and apartheid nostalgia of AfriForum"...
