THE BHISHO administration in Eastern Cape is in the process of pushing through legislation that will allow parents to challenge former Model C schools to accept indigenous languages.
The ANC likes to change everything that works.
after that nothing works anymore but they always blame apartheid.
maybe its jealous.... Report Abuse

This is an utterly idiotic proposal. What hope in hell will anyone without at least basic English have of ever getting a) tertiary education, b) a job as anything but a petrol attendant or car guard. This approach can only keep Africa in the dark. Report Abuse

Poor reporting I think they mean it will be compulsory to present IsiXhosa First Additional language for those who want ot do it. In the WC for example, it is not compulsory to take Xhosa, but the schools must present it if there are children who wan to take it. Report Abuse

if you're so serious about isiXhosa from the first place, why send kids to the English/Afrikaans school ????
i attended ModelC because, I didn't have a choice as there was no Xhosa school where I grew up... & I also wanted to learn other Languages, English mostly... that didn't stop me from speaking fluent isiXhosa, I can read & write my home language anytime of the day....
so can xiVhenda speaker, forcefully demand to be taught in Vhenda in a Xhosa school... or is just in an English & Afrikaans school where you can proceed with that ?? Report Abuse

This is a good thing because currently children are kind of forced to study English & Afrikaans , if this goes through then a child may have the option to Study english and Venda 4 example, i think this is excellent, But at the same time i think it should be compulsory to study english, it is the universal language after all & the child will find it difficult to function in this world without knowing propoer english Report Abuse

Printa: I'm so happy that you have an opinion at all. But do I care what it is? NO. A child with no English will have absolutely no future. If that statement is considered stupid by you, well, what does it say about you? Report Abuse
