- Education as a tool to celebrate our heritage0.06 MB
The proposal by Blade Nzimande, the Minister of Higher Education and Training, to make African languages a prerequisite at tertiary institutions and promote African languages to be at the same level as English and Afrikaans in South Africa, should be viewed as an effort to advocate human rights for all South Africans. There is a need to ponder over this proposition as we celebrated heritage month this past month. This is the time where our nation celebrates in traditional activities that bring families, clans, villagers and broader society to reconnect their cultural diversity while reflecting on where they come from while preserving the culture for the next generation.
