Government's Name Changing Flip Flop 1

I don’t know if the Mail & Guardian did this on purpose in ordering the stories on their front page. First the second ranked story:

ANC: KZN name change not a priority
The African National Congress in KwaZulu-Natal said that accelerating development and service delivery is a greater priority that changing the name of the province.

And then the headline story:

Welcome to OR Tambo airport
When the world’s soccer fans descend on South Africa for the 2010 World Cup, most of them will disembark at OR Tambo International airport, as Johannesburg International airport will soon be known.

    As for the change to kwaZulu, I’m all for it: no more Kay-Zed-Enn. Horrible!

    Today I heard a DA spokesperson say that they were against the name OR Tambo, as – unlike Nelson Mandela – Tambo wasn’t into nation-building. Any thoughts?
