City to appeal name ruling

The City of Tshwane would appeal a decision by the Pretoria High Court interdicting the removal of old street signs, mayor Kgosientso Ramokgopa said yesterday.

"We believe that the judgment borders on the trampling of separation of powers as it has practically interdicted the city administration from implementing a decision of council," he said.

"[The 2012 council decision] clearly stated that the dual name plate signage will be kept for a six-month period, after which only single names will be displayed, complemented by the Know Your Street Names campaign."
