The City of Johannesburg has proposed renaming the well-known Sandton Drive to Leila Khaled Drive. This proposal has sparked significant debate. Some see it as a tribute to global liberation movements, while others believe it is inappropriate, arguing that Leila Khaled's controversial history, particularly her involvement in plane hijackings, contradicts the city's vision of unity.
