fish Saa Callsign Change?

After the name change of Jan Smuts it is expected that Pretoria and Jo'burg will soon be baptised with new names.

Changing SAA's callsign doesn't make any sense though; the name is self reflective: A happy wild prey. But it shudders your knees contemplating that a day might come when you are cruising happily at FL410 and suddenly monitoring somebody on 126.9Mhz reporting:

"....FL390...estimating Lakla 49...position Epsek 24...Soweto 183 FL390 Southwestbound..."

7371000.
