Hi guys,

I’ve noticed in most parts of Sandton and Randburg, the City is usually something like Fourways, Johannesburg.

Surely this should be Fourways, Sandton?

I know its a MASSIVE task to go and change all these names, but I thought I’d post here before I gradually start this process.

I’d prefer to leave them as Johannesburg; it’s too hard to figure out where the boundaries of the old municipal areas lie, and it’s also harder to figure out what name to search for.

Yeah. City names = fail.  
Options I’ve seen:  
Sandton  
Sandton, Johannesburg  
Sandton, South Africa  
Sandton, Sandton

I prefer the , Johannesburg version.

P.S. Wouldn’t it be Fourways, Bryanston? 😉
