Talk:Butterworth, South Africa

Request Move
As google street view came out today it helped by showing whether names are now used on signs. Butterworth (Gcuwa) was one of the few towns (along with Nelspruit) where a name change hasn't yet caused road signs to change. Cities such as Mthatha/Polokwane/Mookgopong etc. have already catched on and are on signs. Butterworth is still used on signs. If no one else cares to discuss shortly then I will move it.

Gcuwa → Butterworth, Eastern Cape –
 * Unlike other town renamings in South Africa, Road maps, Google Maps and official signs ALL still only refer to it as Butterworth. I recently bought a SA Road Atlas, and although it has (very) recent renamings such as "Emgwenya" for Waterval-Boven and "Mbombela" for Nelspruit, it doesn't even SUGGEST that Gcuwa is another name for the town. I tried searching for official evidence that proved it was even renamed and found nothing (there must be something out there). Bezuidenhout (talk) 12:12, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
