I’m shocked at those applauding the decision. How can you detect to another sovereign nation on how to act within the confines of their laws.

Flows001:
Oga nobody is dictating. The US simply said it will leave if such eventually happens, you can't do something and force another sovereign nation to swallow it without complaining simply because it is your country.. Everyone knows the Mischief behind the so called change of name, and why the exact same street that houses the US Consulate was chosen

Most of the world believes in a 2 state solution, including SA. Those who believe in 'Israel takes all approach' are the evil ones who believe in domination and violence - the bloodthirsty rednecks in the White House included.

Flows001:
So Hitler is now the owner of your history I guess, right??

Show us just a place where the quran mentioned Palestine, and I will show you many places where Israel and the Jews were mentioned in the quran..

Palestine that was made up is what y'all are using to fight Israel that seems to be the ONLY Jewsih Nation..

fistonati:
The moment people like you realised that both Bible and Quran are some people's opinion, assumptions, permutations, interests, belief and or background, that is when you are truly liberated. The world is not always right about religion but must be right about humanity.

South Africa could lose its United States consulate in Johannesburg if the city changes the name of Sandton Drive to Leila Khaled Drive.

On Thursday, 13 March 2025, a motion to rescind renaming Sandton Drive to Leila Khaled Drive was dismissed after a vote during a council meeting.

Many councillors claimed that the process of renaming Sandton Drive was fraught with problems, including questionable support from residents.

These councillors argued that the city should focus on service delivery instead of wasting money on vanity projects like name changes.

They added that thousands of residents and businesses in Sandton opposed the change and that it was highly controversial.

However, other Johannesburg councillors supported the name change, arguing that it shows support for Palestine.

Most of the City of Johannesburg councillors voted against the motion to rescind the renaming of Sandton Drive to Leila Khaled Drive.

US RESPONSE

Joel Pollak, the frontrunner to become the United States Ambassador to South Africa, warned that this name change could have severe consequences.

It will see the United States close its consulate in Johannesburg, which is located at 1 Sandton Drive in Sandhurst.

“The consulate will be closed and not be reopened. It will not be moved and go to another office. The United States will not do business with Johannesburg,” he said.

Pollak added in a post on X, “Helpfully, the renaming would create another savings for DOGE: close the consulate.”

WHO IS LEILA KHALED

Leila Khaled is a controversial freedom fighter for Palestinian rights and a former Palestinian militant and member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

Khaled gained prominence after her role in the TWA Flight 840 hijacking in 1969 and one of the four simultaneous Dawson’s Field hijackings the following year.

She was imprisoned for the hijackings but was released in a prisoner exchange for civilian hostages kidnapped by other PFLP members.

ANC's SUPPORT FOR PALESTINE

The ANC is an ally to Palestine. Since the 1950s, the ANC has enjoyed strong ties with the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO).

Last year, the ANC in the City of Joburg Council, supported by the EFF, proposed renaming Sandton Drive to Leila Khaled Drive.

The ANC’s first deputy secretary general, Nomvula Mokonyane, was particularly keen on the name change.

She reportedly said, “We want the United States of America embassy to change their letterhead to Number 1 Leila Khaled Drive”.

“We are sending a message that they cannot dominate us and tell us what to do. It must be in their face, it must be in their computers, in their letterheads,” she is quoted as saying.

IMPLICATIONS OF CONSULATE CLOSURE

Should the name change go through and the consulate closes, as Pollak warned, it will greatly impact South Africans.

The United States Consulate in Johannesburg provides consular services in Gauteng, Free State, Mpumalanga, Limpopo, and North-West Provinces.

These services include helping Americans with emergencies and assisting them with documents like passports and reports of birth.

The Consulate helps non-Americans, mostly South Africans, with non-immigrant and immigrant visas to the United States.

South Africans will have to travel to Cape Town and Durban to get the services they currently receive from the United States consulate in Johannesburg.

South Africa will soon learn that they have been chasing shadows, thinking they are in support of freedom fighters.

When you think 'woke' but you're still empty headed.

Svoboda:
So, if the street was changed to George Washington or Theodore Roosevelt, it won't be on the consulates letterhead?

Nelochukwu:
They can change it to thabo Mbeki for all america cares but not a Palestine terrorist to spite america. Let's call a spade a spade Biko nu

Svoboda:
The US is overbearing. It continues with its age long policy of violating an independent countrys sovereignity. Let the city council effect the street change. The US should not dictate who bears what. The RSA wouldn't dictate whose name is placed on a street in NY as well. By the time they realize how much they're losing in visa fees, the consulate will be reopened.

Svoboda:
The RSA govt thru the municipal council reserves the absolute right to name streets after whomever they deem fit without prejudice to any external consideration. Isnt this ridiculous that the threat is coming from the same country that staunchly backed the brutal apartheid regimes of South Africa? At that time, the US govt considered and designated the great Nelson Mandela a terrorist and the anc a terrorist org. Was the great Madiba a terrorist to you?

delpee:
Palestinians don't believe in a 2 state solution. They've had opportunities to do that. They declined. Yasser Arafat first agreed and then backed out. What they really want is to take over Israel. Unfortunately, that's a hard nut to crack.

Counter with facts!
Hitler was the number one hater of the Jews during his time, you dont expect him to acknowledge them in anyway! So because Hitler listed out countries, then Israel's over 2000 years of history should be overlooked shey? Palestine that does not have any history or culture
Try get sense, no dey allow sentiments overwhelm your senses
