Not the first time... There was a protest in Pretoria over the renaming of the place. For all the talk that goes on about learning english here, english in SA may wipe out afrikaans.

The Afrikaaners are very aware of what is happening and the younger ones have rediscovered their language and using it more,They do NOT want it to "die". Many of the pop singers,who used to only sing in English,are now singing in Afrikaans only.

When they renamed Pretoria (which was years ago!) people ignored it and still call it Pretoria.
