OFFICIAL LANGUAGES
Everybody is entitled to
have his or her own home - language as one of the official languages in at least
his or her own official
section of our nation.
However, for the whole
nation, with its traditions of leadership and national unity, it would be an
insult if we did not continue
with respect to both English and
Afrikaans.
These two main languages have been at the root of our
educational and political development over the years. They still carry the
respect of all educated people in the leadership of our nation.
To
downgrade either of them would be an insult that will break down any thought of
future national unity in the new RSA.
