Talk:Eastern Cape

message: The article mentions the small exclave within KZN, but doesn't mention why it exists. Could anyone explain why it is there?
Cheers.
: I think it had something to do with East Griqualand (Kokstad) staying with Natal and not with the bantustan of Transkei. That left a small piece of land by the Umzimkulu River which became part of Transkei. When the former homeland was absorbed back into  South Africa after apartheid it became part of the Eastern Cape including the small encave --Jcw69 12:58, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: I have seen a couple of maps drawing a line that stretches from north to south, dividing the province into two (administrative?) zones. No other province had such a division. Perhaps this should be mentioned in the article.—Wikipeditor 20:20, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Hi, there. A lot of Eastern Cape villages/towns/airports/cities' names have been changed. For instance, Port Elizabeth is now Gqeberha, Uitenhage is now Kariega, King William's Town is now Qonce, etc. See here for the list. Please help with the updating/changing names of the relevant articles. I would do it all tonight, but I'm dead on my feet. Best, LefcentrerightDiscuss 20:41, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi ! Thanks for the shoutout :) I see though you've had at least the Port Elizabeth changes reverted. I concur with the consensus there, it's not the commonly-used name yet, so is too soon, although the new official names should be mentioned in the articles concerned.
