The EFF rejected the Constitutional Court’s decision to reinstate the Afrikaans language as a learning and teaching medium at Unisa.
Durban – The EFF has rejected the Constitutional Court’s decision to reinstate the Afrikaans language as a learning and teaching medium at Unisa.
“The selective choice of Afrikaans as a superior language perpetuates superiority over indigenous languages, and is an insult to the standing of Africans and their heritage of rich languages. It said if the Afrikaans language was reinstated at Unisa, then the university must use African languages as a medium of instruction, including Swahili.
The court passed a judgment on Wednesday which found the university in contravention of Section 29 of the Constitution, which relates to the right to receive an education in an official language or language of choice.
