Many have labelled the ANC’s proposed renaming of Sandton Drive in Johannesburg to Leila Khaled Drive as an attempt to spite the US.
Leila Khaled is a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, an internationally designated terrorist organisation. She is known as the poster girl of Palestinian militancy for her role in hijacking TWA flight 840 from Rome to Tel Aviv in 1969, as well as many other terrorist activities, according to The DA said the Presidency is correct in indicating that this issue is harmful to SA – US relations and is an unnecessary provocation at this time.

Rasool’s privileges and immunities as SA’s Ambassador to the US ceased on Monday, 17 March, and he is expected to land in Cape Town on Sunday, 23 March.
This should not be a surprise to the Orlando Pirates faithful. The Sea Robbers are reportedly set to say goodbye to Angolan winger Gilberto.
