A bit of a blog world huffy is surfacing over the announcement of plans to rename Johannesburg International Airport to Oliver Tambo International Airport. (Mzansi Afrika, Fodder, Commentary, Fodder again, all with lots of interesting comments and discussion).

My opinion, simply, is that in the greater scheme of things, naming an airport after a recognised and esteemed anti-apartheid icon isn't really that incendiary, although you'd think that our politicians had more important things to worry about than renaming bloody airports.
