The City of Cape Town has embarked on a process to rename the Old Granary Building in the CBD after the late Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu. The city has officially launched a commenting process for the public today, on the proposed renaming to Desmond and Leah Tutu House.
Deputy Mayor and Chairperson of the Naming Committee, Eddie Andrews, says the public participation process is important to have people’s voices heard. He says the city’s Economic Growth Directorate made the proposal to rename the building to honour the life and work of the Arch.
The Old Granary was originally constructed in the early 1800’s served as a bakery, a jail for women and a police office. The Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation co-funded the refurbishment of the space in 2015, to allow for the establishment of a peace and archive centre.
