The decision by the Constitutional Court that the City of Tshwane can remove about 25 apartheid-era street names in Pretoria will test our maturity as a nation.

This ruling will be hailed by some sections of society and equally condemned by those who sought to preserve their legacy.What is important to note is that South Africa is still in transition and the court's decision might be reversed years from now when a new government takes over and the mood of the populace has changed.
