The DA launched an online petition to object against the gazetted name changes of Port Elizabeth to Gqeberha, and Uitenhage to Kariega.
The petition was launched on Friday 5 March and has garnered over 9,320 supporters as of Sunday 7 March.
Nelson Mandela Bay Mayor Nqaba Bhanga, who is also the DA's provincial leader in the Eastern Cape, has objected to the recent name changes in the region.
I am of the opinion these new names are not inclusive and, in fact, have no isiXhosa meaning.
