BIZARRE: Outrage as historic welsh farm renamed hakuna matata | Mind Blowing Facts

People on social media have called for better legislation in protecting Welsh place names after a Carmarthenshire farm was renamed 'Hakuna Matata' on a Ordnance Survey map.

The farm in Gorslas near Cross Hands was formerly known as Banc Cornicyll, but is now registered under the phrase which means "there are no troubles" in Swahili. It became a well-known saying after the 1994 Disney movie Lion King.

According to Land Registry records, the farm overlooking Llyn Llech-Owen near Gorslas has been in the hands of the same family since 1997. Details of companies registered at the site in the last 20 years suggest they have been calling it Hakuna Matata for some time.
