One of Johannesburg's busiest roads, the William Nicol Drive, is set to get a new name. The road, which is connecting the suburbs in the north to Sandton, will be renamed Winnie Madikizela-Mandela (1936 - 2018). Former President Nelson Mandela's (1918 - 2013) second wife was a South African anti-apartheid activist, Politician and Member of Parliament. She served on African National Congress' (ANC) National Executive Committee and headed the party's Women's League. The official renaming ceremony will take place on 26 September 2023, which coincides with the her 87th birthday.
