“D’Urban, a British colonial administrator who was denounced by his fellow colonialist John Phillip as a racist who treated Africans as animals."The South African reported that the EFF hopes that the ruling party, the ANC, will continue to change names of South African cities to more accurately reflect the people living there, not stopping at Gqeberha but changing Durban next and then cities in the Western Cape.
Vusi Khoza, who's with the EFF in KZN, has said that the history behind the name of Durban is racist and it should have been changed a long time ago, as reported by East Coast Radio.
