- The renaming of William Nicol Drive in Sandton, Johannesburg, to Winnie Mandela Drive is celebrated as an important step in recognizing freedom fighters.
- Minister Khumbudzo Ntshavheni dismissed criticism that the renaming was an attempt to erase minority history.
- Excluding African and black history to protect the history of Afrikaans minorities, which negatively impacted black people, does not contribute to nation-building, Ntshavheni added.
- The renaming is therefore in line with building a united South Africa, acknowledging a suppressed past and the role of those who fought for the majority's freedom.
