Talk:KwaDukuza

message: Has the name officially changed or is this just the local name given to Stanger? On all my maps and when I was down there last year 2004 it was still Stanger.--Jcw69 11:11, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Just a guess, but KwaDukuza could be the name of the local municipality that contains Stanger, and Stanger is still the name of the town. No proof for that, but I have added citation required tags to the claim about the "name change". Lots of people still seem to get confused about the difference between a municipality, and the towns in that municipality, even though the new municipalities are 7 years old.

message: The Local Municipality is KwaDukuza, the district municipality is iLembe. for more information about what a district municipality is see: District municipality (South Africa). For an expnanation of what a local municipality is, see Local municipality (South Africa). KwaDukuza, whatever the merits of the name, is, according to the municipal demaractions board , a local municipality, and since Wikipedia is for the way things are, rather than the way we them to be what we may think the "correct" name should be is irrelevant.

message: The coorindates seem to be wrong and point to Shakaskraal, with Stanger only just visible in the top-right corner. Can this please be changed? :)  --Bezuidenhout (talk) 15:35, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have corrected that and have also split the town (this article) and the Local Municipality that contains it. Local municipality information is now at KwaDukuza Local Municipality. --NJR_ZA (talk) 13:23, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wrong coorindates 

message: The usage in the media seems to be shifting towards the official name KwaDukuza. See . Informally, as well, I have seen more usage of KwaDukuza, on Twitter, etc, but of course that's not proof enough. However, it is indicative of a shift in everyday conversation, so this issue should be revisited. Park3r (talk) 09:16, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, like most name changes it has slowly shifted usage and unlike the Mpumalanga name changes KwaDukuza isn't exactly very difficult to pronounce/spell. Either way the article is at KwaDukuza and I don't quite see the issue, so long we mention it in the intro it was called stanger. Bezuidenhout (talk) 15:54, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm surprised that the 2011 census still names the town as Stanger, especially as otherwise it always uses the new official names. Was the name change reversed?--eh bien mon prince (talk) 14:00, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
