When Malema through EFF takes over government.

Its about time we started discarding our colonisers names. Names are destinies and African identity confusion is partly because since the white man renamed us, we became what he told us we were. That curse of the white man has now come to an end. As we take back our land (and everything in it) let's not forget to give him back his names ...

I wonder what lake Victoria (named so after a british explorer "discovered it" will be called. The Luhya of western kenya call it "Mumbo".

I love the simplicity yet the complexity of the highlighted, Quite apt

Great .
The Gold Coast became Ghana after independence.
Then Rhodesia ( South, East, West, North whatever)
became Zimbabwe.
In Chad, Fort Lamy ( the capital) became Ndjamena.
The cultural shift should continue.
Countries like Sierra Leone, Cote d'Ivoire, Cameroon etc. should also change their names.

I think so bro. We are busy celebrating or criticising others changing colonial names, and changing the way colonialists structured their countries but we are not taking any action in changing this British creation we call a country . No wonder we are always at the bottom of progressive things in the continent and on top of every useless and evil lists .
