Four Struggle icon names for Cape Town International Airport
Cape Town – The name of four Struggle icons are being considered as the new name for Cape Town International Airport.
Ishmael Mnisi, Transport Minister Blade Nzimande’s spokesperson, said the department had received proposals for the renaming of the airport, as one of the national key points, after Nelson Mandela, Albertina Sisulu, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela and Robert Sobukwe.
Sisulu was a political activist and wife of Rivonia trialist Walter Sisulu. She became the first woman to be arrested under the General Laws Amendment Act, which entitled the apartheid government to detain a suspect for 90 days. Sisulu also participated in the 1956 march to the Union Buildings against the carrying of passes.
