Topic Choice


The three topics which we are to choose from are:


1. Street Name Changes in Durban
2.Drivers Licensing in KZN
3.Home Affairs and Immigration Issues

Firstly; I don't think the Home Affairs topic is such a great idea as dealing with Home Affairs is like talking to a brick wall at the best of times... Having said that, I do think the immigration issue is interesting and relevant. I wouldn't link it to home affairs, as it is illegal immigration that is the real issue and that doesn’t directly involve home affairs. Also the actual border crossing and the center of the action is not near Durban.

The licensing issue would relate well with the work done last year, although it is different from last year as the actual systems in place have change substantially. It would be interesting to compare the current issues with those that were previously discussed.

My choice would be the street name changes. There are lots of opinions on the issue in general, but there is also a large amount of controversy around individual proposed street names. Research can also be done on the people behind the names. There are many suggested names that I personally am unfamiliar with and would be intrigued to find out who they were and what they did.
