Talk:Oliver Tambo

Can anyone tell me where abouts in Finchley Oliver Tambo lived before he moved to Muswell Hill in London. We know the road and the rough location but not the exact address. The house will still be there - and I want to photograph it. Is it possible that someone might have a letter, or other document, or remembers the address. I have spoken with Patsy Pillay (see the British newspaper The Independent (15th October 2007) who spoke of the Finchley connection but it is too long ago for her to be sure of the number. Thank you : )

Johannesburg International Airport

The Ekurhuleni Council of the East Rand, and the Government are trying to rename Johannesburg International after Oliver Tambo. This has caused a large uproar in the community.

The following places have already been renamed after him:

On the East Rand (Ekurhuleni) there is the Oliver Tambo Cultural Village, Tamboville.

And the Oliver Tambo Memorial Hospital

And Oliver Tambo Drive in Mokopane (Potgietersrus)

And Oliver Tambo Drive in Modimolle (Nylstroom)

And Oliver Tambo Avenue, Manemberg, Cape Town

And Oliver Tambo Drive in Joe Slovo (yes, he has his own suburb), Cape Town

And Oliver Tambo Drive in Pellsrus, Jefferys Bay

And Oliver Tambo Drive in Rustenburg

And Oliver Tambo Drive in Weltevreden

And Oliver Tambo Drive in The Leauges, Cape Town

And Oliver Tambo Street, Hospital View, Johannesburg

And Oliver Tambo Street, Kagiso Ext2, Jhb

And Oliver Tambo Street, Kwanomzamo, Humansdorp

And Oliver Tambo Street, Parkridge, East London

And Oliver Tambo Street, Tsakane, Jhb

And Oliver Tambo Drive in Seshego, Polokwane

And Oliver Tambo Street, Mohlakeng, West Rand

(I've used my GPS software to find this, and since its outdated (refers to Polokwane as Pietersburg) I suspect many more "Oliver Tambo" roads)

And the Oliver Tambo District (where you can find the easy-to-remember King Sabata Dalindyebo Municipality) in the Eastern Cape

and? are you saying you want to include this in the article? not sure if any of this really merits a mention. or are you trying to make some sort of politcal comment? --Andy-106 15:21, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Johannesburg International Airport

Johannesburg International Airport is a much more appropriate name for JHB's airport. There are other ways in which Oliver Tambo could be honoured in his fight against apartheid.
