Will Pretoria have a Fidel Castro Street?
DENISE WILLIAMS | PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA - Oct 20 2008 16:45
Pretorius Street, one of the main roads cutting through Pretoria, should be renamed after former Cuban president Fidel Castro, the South African Communist Party (SACP) said on Monday.

Speaking at a public hearing at Pretoria's City Hall, SACP member Joan Muller also said Schoeman Street should be renamed after Cuban revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara.

"We must not forget our Cuban allies," she told a small gathering of people who arrived at the hearing on the changing of 27 street names in the city.

Other names put forward by the SACP included human rights lawyer Duma Nokwe.
