[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 935856, member: 40658"] This is a completely different matter. You don't see the Universities introduce the other 9 official languages as new languages to replace Afrikaans?? No, all the Tertiary institutions are reverting to a single language for teaching, to accomodate all. But with that said, many still have Afrikaans as a second language of choice permitting they have enough students and lecturers to facilitate the subject(s). What that article doesn't tell you is that the secondary and primary schools have Afrikaans and the other african languages as compulsory subjects, and there is an increasing requirement to have kids learn more than just english. But Afrikaans as a language isn't such a racial barrier as it was perhaps during apartheid, and take the local High Schools here in my town who are 90% black, where most of the kids want Afrikaans as a subject, and some even prefer it over english. While other areas such as the coloured regions, have Afrikaans as main language and english as a secondary language. Players like Damian Willemse, Cheslin Kolbe, Gio Aplon, Roscoe Specman, Cornal Hendricks, where Afrikaans is their mother language. [/QUOTE]
