The Alexandra Street Renaming Ceremony took place in Alexandra on 25th
October 2008. Over 1000 marchers took to the streets to watch the
unveiling of 6 new street names honouring struggle heroes such as
Florence Moposho, Richard Baloyi, Reverend Sam Buti, Alfred Nzo, Josias
Madzunya, Vincent Tshabalala and Meshack Kunene who emerged as prominent
leaders in the community during the years of oppression. The event
culminated in a rally at the newly renamed Meshack Kunene Stadium
(formally Alex stadium) with addresses to the crowds by prominent
leaders. |
