ANC Caucus in support of renaming William Nicol Drive to Winnie Madikizela-Mandela Drive
14 April 2021
It is with excitement that we pen this statement, in sight of the City's consideration to rename William Nicol Drive after the late Mama Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.
The road, which connects the north of Johannesburg with the CBD, was established during Nicol's time as governer in the Transvaal. Due to him overseeing the development, he then named the road after himself.
In light of transformation, we are in support of this proposed name change, in honour and recognition of our great stalwart Winnie Madikizela-Mandela and her great contribution in the South African political sphere.
