Municipality mayor says the decision to rename the municipality after Madikizela-Mandela is to honour her for her role in fighting apartheid.
Mbizana Local Municipality in the Eastern Cape has been renamed Winnie Madikizela-Mandela Local Municipality.
The area is renamed after its most famous daughter.
The new name of the municipality, sitting in Mbizana, was signed off by Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) MEC Xolile Nqatha in a provincial Government Gazette on Thursday.
The name change is to take effect from the first day of the month following publication in the provincial gazette.
