Kunene defends R250k spent on renaming William Nicol Drive to Winnie Mandela Drive

'You can't put monetary value to the pain of South Africans. You can't put a price on reconciliation.'

“You can’t put monetary value to the pain of South Africans. You can’t put a price on reconciliation. Reconciliation was not fully done; it is not a one-way street.

“We must change that when we get to Parliament. We are the only country in the world that celebrates our oppressors through the naming of streets, towns, and national key points. I am going to change that, starting in the City of Johannesburg,” he said. “The EFF has consistently held Mama Winnie’s memory in the highest regard, as today also marks the second anniversary of the official opening of our headquarters, the Winnie Madikizela-Mandela House — the nerve centre of the revolution in pursuit of economic freedom.”
