City names withing metropolitan municipalities
Hi,
How should the City names be determined within metropolitan municipalities? (Durban (eThekwini), Tshwane (Pretoria, Centurion, etc), Cape Town, Johannesburg (Johannesburg, Midrand, Sandton), PE, Ekurhuleni (Germiston, Boksburg, Springs, etc))
Possible formats:
Suburb, Former municipality

Possible formats:
Suburb, Former municipality
- Seem to be most common currently (in Gauteng at least)
- How people mostly speak
- Hard to find borders on new maps
- Wikipedia seem to have some of it documented... (Johannesburg at least...)
- Naming new developments with this scheme can be problematic
- Easy to map
- Can be confusing (There will be no Centurion, Midrand)
- Naming wars (e.g. Waterkloof, (City of)Tshwane)
- Long
- Former municipal borders are hard to find on modern maps
- Possible naming wars...
