South Africa debates renaming Kruger National Park, sparking controversy over history, tourism, and economic impact.
South Africa is debating renaming Kruger National Park, named after 19th-century Afrikaner leader Paul Kruger, amid efforts to address colonial legacies.
The opposition EFF proposes replacing it with Skukuza, tied to the park’s first warden, James Stevenson-Hamilton, whose policies excluded Black communities.
The move has sparked controversy over historical accuracy and economic impact, with critics warning it could harm tourism—a key sector contributing nearly 9% to the economy and supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs.
While the provincial legislature approved the motion, it is not legally binding, and national procedures remain.
The debate reflects broader national efforts to reconcile historical injustices with economic realities, especially given unemployment exceeding 30%.
