This is a must-watch: Just as the Irish language was “colonised,” the same has happened to many indigenous languages in South Africa. The BELA Act is not only aimed at “colonising” Afrikaans; it is also designed to prevent the development of other indigenous languages. This legislation makes the government...

Afrikaners were never ashamed of our language. That is why the Bela bill want to kill it. The Mighty British could not do that and neither will the Bella Bill od ANC.

Comparing the BELA Act to "colonisation" is laughable...;it's a desperate attempt to push a victim narrative that doesn't exist. You are delusional if you think protecting Afrikaans is the same as fighting for indigenous languages. AfriForum crying about "oppression" while benefiting from the very system that oppressed others? The irony is painful.

Says the beneficiary of colonialism, before 1994 you called yourselves Europeans. All of a sudden you are Africans.

So true, it is worse in SA, it is promoted fakes minds who think English & English and American is intelligence. My family speak IsiZulu, IsiXhosa, SeSotho, and almost all African languages in SA I take pride in that all my kids taught were by teachers who knew African languages

My Fellow South Africans, On the 13th of September this year, I signed into law the Basic Education Laws Amendment Act. This Act is vital to the transformation of the education system in our country. The Act is an important part of ongoing efforts to build an education system that is more effective and more equitable in line with the precepts of our Constitution. The BELA Act continues the work that has been done over the last 30 years to ensure that all children have equal access to quality education – from their early years and throughout their schooling. As a democratic country committed to building a new society, we have stated unequivocally that all children must get an education that prepares them to succeed in life, no matter what the circumstances of their birth might be, no matter where they live, no matter what language they speak. In implementing this Act we are all ultimately guided by the Constitution. The Bill of Rights guarantees the right of every person to equality. It guarantees the right of every person to receive a basic education. Importantly, the Constitution says that every person has the right to receive education in the official language or languages of their choice where reasonably practicable. This is a right that applies equally to an English-speaker as it does a Zulu-speaker. It applies equally to someone who speaks Afrikaans as it does to someone who speaks Xitsonga, Sesotho, Sepedi, isiXhosa, Setswana, Tshivenda, isiNdebele or siSwati. And now, it also applies equally to someone who uses the South African Sign Language. The Basic Education Laws Amendment Act enacts measures that strengthen the ability of our schools to give effect to these Constitutional rights. In the application of this law, we must ensure that no language is diminished. Rather, we must work to ensure that all official languages are valued and promoted. At the time that I assented to the BELA Bill, I noted that a number of parties to the Government of National Unity and other key role players in our country had expressed their wish to further engage each other on sections of the bill that deal with issues of admission and language. I said that whilst I had assented to the Bill, in the spirit of cooperation and meaningful engagement, I would delay the implementation date of the BELA Act in totality by three months. This would give the parties time to deliberate on these issues and make proposals on how the divergent views may be accommodated. I also said should the parties not agree on an approach at the end of the three-month period, I would then direct the Minister and the Department to proceed with the implementation of the Act. Over the last three months, discussions have been held with a view of reaching consensus on these outstanding clauses of the BELA Act. Various formations outside of government have also made representations, both for and against the relevant sections. Last week, I received a report from the Government of National Unity ‘clearing house’ mechanism. This is the structure which brings together the parties to the Government of National Unity and other parties represented in Parliament to deal with contentious issues and thereafter report to the leaders of the political parties represented in the Government of National Unity. In their final report, the parties agreed that the Basic Education Laws Amendment Act should not be sent back to Parliament to make changes to the sections that were in contention. The GNU clearing house participants agreed that the Act be fully implemented. This view was endorsed by the leaders of the parties to the GNU in a meeting I held with them today. I accordingly advised them that I would proceed to sign a Presidential Proclamation to bring the Basic Education Laws Amendment Act into operation from today.

LINGUISTIC IMPERIALISM Linguistic imperialism is the process whereby dominant powers impose their language on those they colonise, suppressing indigenous languages and thus marginalising their speakers and sustaining power inequalities. Indigenous languages in colonial Africa were frowned upon, while colonial languages were made mandatory. In Anglophone Africa, policies were all written in English; media and broadcasting used English; and there were many systemic policies forbidding the use of indigenous languages. For example, students in many Kenyan schools were punished for using any other languages, with most of these punishments involving shaming tactics such as the wearing of bones from dead animals as chains around the neck. This also happened to the indigenous people who were forced to speak Arabic and change their names in places like Sudan. This warped the consciousness of individuals, leading to a loss of appreciation for indigenous languages and cultures - and promoted the adoption of the coloniser’s worldview, values, systems and structures. UNESCO's 1953 report, The Use of Vernacular Languages in Education, indicated that around 40% of the global population received education in an unfamiliar language. Sub-Saharan Africa, which is home to nearly 30% of the world’s languages, still uses the colonisers’ languages as national languages. Consequently, the education and values instilled remain those of the colonisers. Many languages are at risk of extinction, with only a few speakers left. The loss of these languages is equivalent to the loss of African heritage and culture.

USA boycotts G20 AfriForum warned the ANC in advance that South Africa’s relationship with the USA cannot be repaired by falsely dismissing American concerns as the result of “misinformation.” The reckless strategy of the ANC-led government has now failed, and the country is reaping the bitter fruits thereof. It is in the country’s best interest to restore relations with the USA. AfriForum proposes that this be done by finding solutions to, among other things, the farm murder crisis and the lack of respect for property rights — issues that have once again been highlighted by President Donald J. Trump. AfriForum proposes the following: Farm murders •The Presidency 🇿🇦 Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 must unconditionally condemn the “kill the Boer” chant, which calls for ethnic violence against Afrikaners. •Acknowledgement must be given that farm murders are often accompanied by excessive torture and violence. •Farm murders must be declared a priority crime, as is already the case with many other crimes — even rhino poaching is a priority crime. •The government must ensure that the police cooperate with farm and neighborhood watch groups that operate within the framework of the law. Expropriation Act •The government must commit itself to protecting property rights. •Section 12(3) of the Expropriation Act, which makes expropriation without compensation possible, must be repealed. •Section 19(2) of the Expropriation Act, which allows expropriation to take place before the courts have given a final ruling, must be amended.

Diplomatic crisis with the US is in no one’s interest: The civil rights organisation AfriForum says the current diplomatic crisis with the US is not in anyone’s interest in South Africa and could have been prevented if the ANC leadership had not ignored AfriForum and the Solidarity Movement’s efforts to help find solutions. AfriForum emphasises that, as an organisation, it remains committed to helping find solutions to this crisis in the best interest of everyone in the country. According to Kallie Kriel, CEO of AfriForum, ANC leaders have so far actively prevented attempts to find solutions by, among other things, inviting the Iranian ambassador to the ANC headquarters and making anti-American statements. “Ronald Lamola, Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, acted directly against South Africa’s interests by publicly accusing President Donald Trump of having a ‘white supremacy’ agenda, despite his role as minister to promote international relations. Lamola disregarded the possibility of retaliation for his statements, and now we are all reaping the bitter fruits of that,” says Kriel. Referring to Trump’s latest statements on social media about farm murders and property rights, Kriel says that concrete steps must be taken to combat farm murders and protect property rights, as this is the best way to tackle these issues. According to Kriel, AfriForum has therefore already made several proposals to the ANC’s leaders to serve as solutions in this regard. AfriForum proposes, among other things, the following solutions for combating farm murders and protecting property rights: Farm Murders • President Ramaphosa should be urged to unconditionally condemn the “Kill the Boer” chant, which is a call for ethnic violence against Afrikaners. • The South African government should at least acknowledge the fact that farm murders are accompanied by excessive torture and violence. • Farm murders should be declared a priority crime, as is already the case with numerous other crimes, including rhino poaching. • The government should decide that the South African Police Service (SAPS) should officially and in a planned manner collaborate with farm and neighbourhood watches nationwide that operate within the framework of the law. Expropriation Act • The South African government must commit itself to protecting property rights. • Section 12(3) of the Expropriation Act, which allows for expropriation without compensation, must be revoked. • Section 19(2) of the Expropriation Act, which allows for expropriation to take place before a court decision is reached, must be amended.
