Although I do not have qualms about renaming Rhodes, I am not convinced it is a priority given what South Africa is going through. I would also suspect that if you chwck with black people in the same province or area you will find that black people long had an African name for that university, as it was with these towns supposedly renamed (Polokwane, Tshwane, Mangaung, Lephalale, Gauteng etc). Those names were there for more that 50 years. And why is nobody thinking of renaming Fort Hare and University of the North....are not these naes irrelevant or inappropriate for the new South Africa?
