You have to realise you're privileged when you can be taught in your mother tongue while over 76% of the population in the country you reside in aren't offered that privilege. Anyways let's all be treated the same, English is the lingua franca in today's society.
@@karlbenz5636 what do you mean slave? At some point we have to define what we classify as oppressive and what's not. I've come to terms with different languages. If you feel like other people speaking your home language makes you (automatically) a slave master, then that's what you do. I'll learn in English if the English have knowledge I'd like to acquire, same goes for Afrikaans.
I believe this to be a bad move, as Afrikaans is one of the country's official languages. I believe in equality, and therefore they should've moved to make every degree available in every official language of South Africa. We can't move together as a country if there are not equal privileges for all. Time to move past discrimination.
Bro, English is not native to most non-Afrikaners at UP, in fact they have less proficiency in English than most Afrikaner students. What they are asking is to meet in the middle as this is good for everyone and education everywhere is increasingly becoming english at varsity... in Europe, it is definitely the case
This is not progress. We need to teach in more languages, not less. English is dumbing South-Africa down, also culturally. Students in South-Africa should all learn at least Zulu, Xhosa and Afrikaans. Only then, way after that, comes English: the only language that is not native to South-Africa.
@@oleander1705 We live in a global world, Zulu, Xhosa blah blah blah does not work in this global world we live in. Also, how did you decide on Zulu and Xhosa? What about the other million languages we have, do we have enough lectures to lecture physics in Tsonga. The million languages are impractical.

For people who want English to be the sole language of instruction does not really seem to be able understand English as a one language policy is the opposite of bieng inclusive. Also this in no way benefits us Anglophones, we have gained nothing but lost equality and just have the privilege of beign taught in our language instead of having equality and now we Anglophones just have to compete with more people and we gained nothing from this. If people really care aobut equality then why are Anglophones still required to know Afrikaans to get accepted in the first place so in a way Afrikaans speakers have that advatage so why does we have to learn it? Dropping that requrement instead would have made sense if all education must be in English but we did not see that because this was only motivated out of spite and nothing else hance why the country is in such a sorry state
@@jwilleseries7764 And Khoisan and Nguni have been here far longer than that, do you see it being a medium of teaching anywhere, English is middle ground.

@@joeyrabz1616 so you are not sure ... ? maybe it is, maybe it's not ? ...

@@karlbenz5636 so you want it to change to ZUlu or Xhosa since you don`t like English coz it`s the only thing that will make better sense if English doesn`t?
English is middle ground... it is a 2nd language for Afrikaners and a 2nd language for Black South Africans. Before this protest, one would enrol, then get a surprise in a lecture, only to realise that the programme is in Afrikaans (but it was marketed in English)
you only have to search afrikaans on youtube to realize the deficiencies culturally, this is due to years of apartheid working on the fairer skin snowflakes.
One you’re not fooling anyone thinking typing comments in French will go over our heads, two ici a Afrique de Sud il y a prejudie et une superiorite avec les personnes blanc pour reasons on connais pas mais maintenent nous etes les meme. No beneficial preferences now. I myself a black African who speaks Zulu, SiSwati, English, French and Swahili and yet no special allowances are made for African origin languages. No, the new South Africa affords all THE SAME opportunities and not any preferential treatment.
