Silly name changes in South Africa

Pretoria is to become Tshwane. Other new names include Mangaung (Bloemfontein), Pietersburg (Mokopane), Mbombela (Nelspruit), Msunduzi (Pietermaritzburg), Thaba Chweu (Lydenburg), Makhado (Louis Trichardt), Mogalakwena (Potgietersrus), Modimolle (Nylstroom), eDumbe (Paulpietersburg), Emfuleni (Vereeniging), Tswelopele (Hoopstad), Kopanong (Trompsburg), Maluti a Phofung (Witsieshoek), Letsemeng (Koffiefontein), Moqhaka (Kroonstad), Ngwathe (Parys), Naledi (Dewetsdorp), Phumelela (Vrede), Tokologo (Boshof), Re A Ipela (Posmansburg), Nama Khoi (Springbok), Bela Bela (Warmbad), Mookgopong (Naboomspruit), Matzikama (Vanrhynsdorp), Mkhondo (Ermelo), Seme (Amersfoort) and Saldanha Bay (Vredenburg). The Orange River, the Apies River, the Orange Free State and Transvaal have disappeared from the maps too. For the time being, Johannesburg, Rustenburg, Klerksdorp, Oudtshoorn, Stellenbosch and Potchefstroom are still saved. The ANC government wants to eliminate the heritage of apartheid. These names have nothing to do with apartheid. These cities were founded by Afrikaans-speaking Boers in the 19th century. It's just silly to substitute all Afrikaans placenames with African ones. Is this a form of anti-Afrikaans racism? Don't forget a lot of coloured people have Afrikaans as their mother tongue too. And what are the costs of the name changes? Not only the city, regional and federal governments have to change logos, headings, signs, etc., but also universities, schools, companies and private people have to adapt. This costs billions of rands, that could be invested better in healthcare, education and public works. But that would be too simple, wouldn't it?

PS: Also English names in South Africa are subject to change. New names include eThekwini (Durban), Buffalo City (East London), Nelson Mandela (Port Elizabeth), Lukanji (Queenstown) and Makana (Grahamstown).
