 Since the decentralisation of 2000 these three old communities were joined under the name of "Bezali", an acronym used by the media.The people of Berendrecht-Zandvliet-Lillo on the other hand were proud of the original names and used them in the hope that they would not be forgotten.The name "Zandvliet" became a household name, thanks to the 1967 naming of Zandvlietsluis, one of the largest sea locks in the world.
