Description :
Various types of transformations of toponyms coexist in South Africa at every scale. Place names contribute to forging the identity of different places, at different scale. The changes of place names is a pertinent tool to analyse territorial restructuring in post-apartheid South Africa. If toponyms reflect the identity of a place, their changes are indicative of multiple identities contained in one place or territory. - (AJC)
