History
Sinoville was named after the Sinovich family, immigrants from Croatia.[citation needed] Marija street is named after Mr Sinovich's wife, Marija. A selection of streets in the area are named after members of the family. The original name of Sefako Makgatho Drive was Sinovich Avenue, then renamed Zambesi drive in the 1970s.[citation needed]
