There is a lot of nonsensical defence of this as being part of our liberatory cultural heritage. Singing this today is pure racial baiting. It is an attempt to make some citizens feel as if they do not belong. Its juvenile reactionary politics at its worse & will destroy SA.
Let us know if any national or provincial parks use only English for their information material or displays. English-only demeans the knowledge inherent in our indigenous languages. It deprives our children of their heritage. #IndigenousKnowledge#Language#UbuhleBemvelo
As kommissie van die @SAAkademie is die TK se opdrag die kodifisering van “algemene, geskrewe Afrikaans”. Só sal ons voortaan na dié gestandaardiseerde skryfvariëteit van Afrikaans verwys. 3/4
For her ideas, her research and her activism she was honoured with the LINGUAPAX International AWARD. She well deserved it. We won't be able to ask for her advice or to discuss about so many topics but we will keep her legacy as the most precious treasure. RIP Tove.
Tove Skutnabb-Kangas, has left us. It is very sad news. Her commitment for language rights, and her support to minority and indigenous populations have been a guide and an inspiration for all of us.
