In SA , some street names will be changed soon, do our government have any idea how much that will cost??? Is it really needed - no, why not use that money to build more houses for the mil homeless people that will sleep in the cold winter now????

how much will it cost?

[VHG]

Where is SA?

[boxtops]

what is this about, please - where's SA, which homeless people?

I know you are new, dobi, but you don't need to repeat the question in the title box - it makes it really difficult to read.

[emmie]

where is SA?, if it's south africa, what would that be to Britain..

[weecalf]

Wont matter we wont be getting any post as the post office is pricing us outta sending post

[237SJ]

South Africa. Maybe the virtually homeless people that live in the shanties. The government have build a lot of new homes for them but maybe not enough.

[emmie]

perhaps SA is not where we think?

[boxtops]

We need a link to the story, if anyone wants one

[weecalf]

Prize for this weeks longest title and shorest question my moneys on san antonia

[Dobi]

Sorry , for the sub title mistake. Yes SA is South Africa. The name change will cost mil of Rands. They just don't think logic.

[Dobi]

To be exact R2.7mil

[boxtops]

Why are they doing it, then? Is there a link to this story?

[237SJ]

Are they changing them from Afrikaans to Zulu names?

[argorstran]

Dobi , unfortunately SA is not the only place where such nonsense takes place . Here in the UK a small fortune has been taken out of the education budget by removing the words "Comprehensive" and "School" and replacing it with the word "Academy" .

[boxtops]

Dobi, is this what you meant? It seems a bit late to discuss the change, as the name of the city was changed 8 years ago!

I am sure this issue is important to you, but the rest of the World has it's homeless and oppressed people.

[jno]

that's about £210,000.

[FredPuli43]

How many homeless would 2.7 mil rand house? In Britain, £210,000 would not pay for the construction of much.

[Brinjal]

2.7 mil. Rand is a lot of money in south Africa and would house or assist. Ot of people.

I must be pizzed - I thought Dobi was the new name of the street............
