@DBE_SA@ReginahMhaule@HubertMweli@ElijahMhlanga@GovernmentZA DeafSA reaffirms that SASL is a fully fledged language, possessing its own linguistic structures, cultural significance, and vital importance for the Deaf community. We urge the DBE to acknowledge this and work towards greater inclusivity and support for SASL users.
