Pretoria - The Freedom Front Plus has asked Tshwane mayor Gwen Ramokgopa to put on hold plans to change road signs from "Pretoria" to "Tshwane" pending a court case.
Party spokesperson Willie Spies said the party, supported by Solidarity's civil society initiative Afriforum, would bring an application before the High Court within seven days, asking it to clarify the legal position of the name of the capital city.
City of Tshwane spokesperson Console Tleane was not immediately available for comment.
Last week, however, he said that plans for road sign changes were at best "still a discussion that might well lead to concrete plans".
