its a good thing that our government enabled us, the south African citizens to express ourselves in our own mother tongues by all means when necessary. im really proud of my Xhosa language and im glad Xhosa's are one of the most abundant racial groups in south Africa.
11 languages?.........mmmmm so this is like the only country in africa where we have to take bullshit in 11 official languages, not that its a bad thing but i kind of think it is unnecessary. now we have the SABC delivering news in multiple languges on one channel. this is the reason why black people grow up ignorant and not conscious of many things. imagine if english was utterly used as a medium of instruction on all corners of the country, im talking in the education department, on the media and socially.
the reason why we have matriculants who are not fluent to English and who fail job interviews due to their terrible English is because we blacks don't want to adopt the modern social life, we choose to raise our kids feeding them Xhosa and all these superstitions rather than preparing them for adaptation to the English speaking world both verbally and orally.
having the SABC deliver news in multiple languages is not going to improve anyone's child, this may sound ignorant bu think the country went a little bit far with this one. 2 or 3 languages would've done it. if we had 2 languages used primarily as the countries official languages we wouldn't be having any problems now talking to vendas and swati's.
anyway im not saying "f***" the government for giving us such previllages, im just saying that i see no point of these multiple and boring languages we have in this country. malema on his side is talking Zulu, vavi on the other side is talking his Xhosa on a channel exclusively designed for English and we have those Limpopo dudes talking their own lingo's.
what kills me is when a government person talks a language that is not english on national tv with an intention of addressing people on a particular matter, how can you deliver government matters to people of different races on your own mother tongue, how do you anticipate the other races to comprehend what you saying?
