New Zealand's most popular lake, Lake Tekapo is in for a name change. The reason being is because we have been spelling Tekapo incorrectly.
Mackenzie District Deputy Mayor, James Leslie says the lake's name is meaningless and the local council supports a change.
It's not exactly clear when the spelling for Takapo became "Tekapo". Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu says his tribe, whose traditional land have a hold within the lake. Places huge importance in place names and is to have them written and pronounced correctly!
