Sir John Molteno was a prominent political and business figure in the Cape Colony, instrumental in the development of infrastructure and civic works. Following the naming of the reservoir, the adjoining street in the general area of the Gardens, Oranjezicht, was named Molteno Road and directly honours the legacy of Sir John Molteno.
