Several towns and areas in the Free State will soon be renamed as Government's renaming initiative continues to move through the country.
According to the Arts, Culture and Recreation MEC, Limakatso Mahasa, Brandfort and Hoffman Square in Bloemfontein are among those to be renamed this financial year.
The town of Brandfort will soon be named after struggle stalwart, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, and her statue will be erected in the same town.
Brandfort has for years made headlines over Madikizela-Mandela's house which stood as a white elephant after millions allocated for its refurbishment were unaccounted for.
The house, earmarked to be a museum employing locals, has now been renovated by the National Arts and Culture Department, with Mahasa announcing that it will soon be fully operational.
The popular Hoffman Square in Bloemfontein will be renamed Charlotte Maxeke Park, where a statue of Maxeke will also be erected.
