The obvious anti-Afrikaans policy of Gauteng education MEC Panyaza Lesufi is reminiscent of the attempt by certain British governors after that war to Anglicise the losers.
What Lesufi doesn’t realise is that his attempts to suppress the efforts of the Afrikaans-speaking community from having mother-tongue education for their children merely strengthen their resolve by extending their feeling of resentment.
Democracy doesn’t mean dictatorship by the majority, but rather that the interests of the citizens — all the citizens — shall be fairly served.
