Eastern Cape cops to learn Mandarin

Perhaps 贿赂得话就能收现金信用卡不可以 vs 只接受现金贿赂, 没有付款卵石

But not really getting what you are trying to say there with 卵石 (luan shi). Can't pay with a pebble?

我还觉得你们用了谷歌翻译。谷歌翻译是很差

God my Chinese is getting rusty...

You back in SA for good now? I still need some of those LiFePO4 batteries :)
 
Pffft, save money and hire a few Chinese as cops instead. Not only will you gain a valuable interpreter, you'll also have a lethal weapon, a door-opener, a fence-jumper, etc

This.

And how many speak ONLY English? You'll be surprised at the number. I agree, Afrikaans is much more spoken. On the other hand Afrikaans and English are the 2 languages I wished I never had to learn. Both treated the locals like animals. Actually, as much as I hate to say this, the British are/were the bigger evil. This is the only point where I agree with Mugabe. Concentration camps anyone?

Don't you just hate it when facts get in the way of your bigotry?

Strange how you lot keep on harking on about white rule which ended 20 years ago in a very thread that highlights your current leaders' total disregard for their own race. Or maybe not strange, it simply means you've swallowed the bait and their diversion is working. Enjoy your Mandarin!
 
Any idea how many Chinese are in the Eastern Cape? I cannot recall when last I even saw one.
 
Trying to teach the average saffer Mandarin is very very ambitious and is doomed to completely fail.

The average saffer can't even speak English or operate a broom for goodness sakes.

And why should the average saffer speak English? Because is the Colonialist language? GTFO

Question -why should the average saffer speak English?

The obvious answer is that all the local lingos are useless outside their little areas of use.

The only reason that we have eleven official languages is because the ANC recognized long ago that tribal divisions and conflict (as in pre-colonial times) would ensure that there could never be any unified opposition.

Point proven, people want to protect their own identity, culture, heritage, values, norms and language. Non-Racial Nation States would be the solution. The anglophone world is far too smug in thinking English should be so predominant, it is fine as a language of diplomacy and business though.

Have you ever wondered what language Europeans would be speaking if dark skinned Africans had left Africa to colonise the rest of the world?

Oh my bad, dark skinned Africans did actually leave Africa a very long time ago and they went to other parts of the world where their skin colour changed over time and they created all sorts of different languages including English, but when the descendants returned to the place of their ancestors in Africa the dark skinned Africans didn't recognise them any more and called them colonists.
 
Should they not learn English first?

...

or at least have the guys be able to read and write in English would be a good start.

You'd think this would be a no-brainer for our non-rocket science government.

This ^ too would be a logical approach to the situation. The spin off is the obvious homage they are sucking up to pay their Chinese masters.

Kinda hilarious how our government won't stfu about white colonialists, but they'll clutch ankles whenever their Chinese masters order them to do so.

Like I said above, they are showing their hand of desperation :o
