@MbalulaFikile Disappointed that no Deaf reps were elected in South Africa's recent elections. We urge political parties to prioritize inclusivity, including Deaf representation, to ensure our voices are heard in Parliament.

@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.
