Officially (by ANC government) it's suppose to be Polokwane, however there is strong opposition to change it back, and many roads signs have still not been changed to the new name, and there has also been vandalism on the new signs. However, many people (especially the white population) still call it Pietersburg, and since almost every town in South Africa has different names in other languages anyway (Johannesburg is Igoli in Zulu, Cape Town is Kaapstad in Afrikaans and Ikapa n Xhosa), so the situation has just revolved into another naming problem with one ethin group calling it by it's original name, while another calls it by it's new one.
