There is a UR on Wetton Rd stating that it had changed name to Govan Mbeki Rd, which was news to me, so I went hunting and found this article with a bit of history on each person: Six streets in Cape Town renamed. No Wetton Rd being renamed, but Lansdowne Rd being split in three, with Wetton being one of the boundaries.

I'm also not sure who Lord Lansdowne offended.

I hope your recovery is going well and thanks for your assistance.

I guess recovering at home after an operation qualifies me!

I have set the entire Lansdowne Rd to a Level 3 lock, so you will be able to edit it, but it still has some protection.

Who's bright idea was it to rename these roads in any case.

What is changing? Is the name being changed to some political character? Even though they said they would only change names if they were offensive. What's so offensive about Lansdowne?
