CoE to continue renaming roads
Roads that will be renamed include Wagenaar Road and two others in Kempton Park and Bapsfontein.
In its quest to build social cohesion, the CoE will continue to name and rename public facilities through participatory processes.
The CoE’s Department of Sport, Heritage, Recreation, Arts and Culture will facilitate the public participation process.

One road, Wagenaar Road, is in Sebenza, and the other is understood to be an unnamed dirt road in Bapsfontein.
The CEO of the society, Xelda Rohrbeck, said by renaming the roads, Little Eden hoped to honour and commemorate its founders, Danny and Domitilla Hyams.
