Bay shaped like bull's testicles

This is the name proposed for Durban, South Africa. Well actually it is iThekweni, but this is Zulu for 'Bay shaped like bull's testicles'.
Sounds kinda weird to change the name of a relatively well know place. But I understand were they are coming from. I think that Durban is named after Sir Benjamin D'Urban. A leader of South Africa during Apartheid.
This is just on of the many name changes that are proposed. They want to change Johannesburg to iGoli (Zulu for 'City of gold') and Pretoria to Tshwane (Sotho for 'We are the same'). They have all ready change the name of the provinces, such as Johannesburg-Pretoria area is now called Gauteng (Tswana for 'Place of gold')
