There is no such thing as a โuniversity of the people who speak isiZuluโ in the first place. Our universities are South African institutions, open to all South Africans regardless of language, ethnicity or province.
What she is expressing is a dangerous desire to Balkanise South Africa along ethnic and linguistic lines - to turn our diversity into separate political and territorial enclaves.
Colonialism and apartheid tried precisely this through segregation, Bantustans and the deliberate manipulation of ethnic identities to divide and rule. They failed to permanently fracture South Africa, and those attempting to revive the same poisonous politics of ethnic division will fail again.
We must defend a united, non-racial and democratic South Africa in which isiZulu, isiXhosa, Sesotho, Tshivenda, Afrikaans and every other language belong equally to all of us. No ethnic group owns a province, a university or any part of this country.
South Africa belongs to all who live in it. We will not allow it to be Balkanised.
