In South Africa, whilst all the airports have been renamed from White politicians to Black politicians, their 3-ltr codes are all based on the city name:
Johannesburg - JNB
Cape Town - CPT
Durban - DBN
and so on. However, some cities are begining with name changes. The first that is being pushed is the capital, Pretoria to be Tshwane but there is no airport. The provinces have mostly changed their name with 'Traansvall' going. Originally, in 1994, all airports lost ehir white politician names and became just the city name So Jan Smuts International became Johannsburg International but then they reversed the policy and brought in names.
I don't think they will want to change Joburg or Cape Town city names as they are not associated with former white rulers. Pretoia was named for Andries Pretorius, a Boer leader. My guess is that will become Mandela City or something similar.
Sorry for the long answer but I lived in Pretoria for ten years and still have family there.
