The Cape Town City Council has decided on six street names that will be changed, along with two civic centres.

Naming Committee chairperson Brett Herron says new names include Hendrik Verwoerd Drive being changed to Uys Krige Drive, Coen Steytler Avenue to Walter Sisulu Avenue. NY1 Street in Gugulethu will be renamed Steve Biko Drive.

According to Herron there were 13 street names on the original proposal that the council decided not to rename.

 Brett Herron said nearly 19-thousand people voiced their opinions about the name change.
