Nqweba was formerly known as Kirkwood.
Background to the name change:
The town of Kirkwood in the Eastern Cape had it’s name changed to Nqweba on Friday 22 March 2024.
The Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture Zizi Kodwa approved the name change which was Gazetted on the above date.
Kirkwood is now called Nqweba which in IsiXhosa means ‘meeting place’.
Nqweba falls under Sunday’s River Valley Municipality which welcomed the name change.
Mayor Solethu Lucas described it as a great victory for the area’s people.
“I am very happy about the pronouncement because the standardisation of Nqweba means giving the natives of the area back their dignity,” he said.
The Eastern Cape Provincial Geographical Names Committee (ECPNG) held public hearings in the area in November 2023 to get people’s views on the proposed name.
