South African Geographical Names Council

The South African Geographical Names Council is a group of people who help decide what places in South Africa should be called. It's kind of like when you're playing a game and you have to pick a name for your team or your character. The council helps pick names for actual places, like towns, mountains, and rivers.

Sometimes, people want to change the name of a place because they don't like the old name or it's offensive. The council listens to these requests and makes a decision if they should change the name or not.

They also make sure that the names of places are spelled correctly and that they make sense. For example, they wouldn't want a place to be called "Happy Duck" if there were no ducks around.

Overall, the South African Geographical Names Council is in charge of keeping track of all the different names of places in South Africa and making sure they are fair, correct, and make sense.
