The motion was brought by the EFF, but the DA argued that this was an election stunt.
The request was made by Zodwa Zwane, Madikizela-Mandela's former personal assistant, who was clad in her ANC regalia during Maimane's visit to her house in Dobsonville, Soweto, yesterday. The DA also argued that renaming the airport would cost the taxpayer about R20m.
Zwane said:"I feel that she is not honoured and recognised for the contribution she made in the Struggle."
