Krotoa Foundation's bid to rename airport faces hurdles
Cape Argus
|December 17, 2025
THE proposal to rename Cape Town International Airport after the Khoi woman Krotoa is stuck on the runway, with officials saying the application cannot proceed until proper public consultation is completed.
The update was provided in response to a question raised in the Western Cape Provincial Parliament by Patriotic Alliance MPL Bazil Petrus.
Petrus wanted to know what was happening with the application. He also asked what safeguards are in place to make sure the rules are applied fairly.
Western Cape cultural affairs and sport MEC Ricardo Mackenzie responded to Petrus, saying the application has not yet met all the legal requirements.
Mackenzie said the Krotoa Foundation formally submitted its application on July 2, though the foundation has been calling for the renaming for the past four years.
