Afrikaans news articles should be posted in Off Topic, they obviously are of no value to non Afrikaners and are as good as posting an Isolezwe article in N&CA.

So do they get extra woke points for being anti-Afrikaans?

If we had to exclude posts from this forum because they offer no value, it would be a very tiny forum.
He means afrikaans language articles. Are we allowed to post isiZulu articles?

Sometimes you can be really sensible and other times you can be so dense. The issue is two fold. Firstly the right to education in your own language and secondly academic freedom. I reckon those are pretty topical and important issues.

As soon as you find a article where a minister is calling isiZulu racist then go for it.
Is that what the minister is saying here? Kinda hard to know when you cannot read the article, and you know how MyBb forumites like to twist things to suit their narrative, the Minister could be calling for Afrikaans to be loved and protected for all we know.

Helen Zille:

Universally decried by the lobotomites in the ANC as racist. How dare she mention that their adoption of English is one of the reasons why their country is succeeding.

The ANC:
All schools will use English, and if you disagree with this, you are racist.

Our government are a special lot :ROFL:

True, I have no doubt about that.

People have posted afrikaans articles here before with a disclaimer that they could not find a english version which I'm ok with as a english version pops up a bit later. In general I would agree with posting english only in general but I'm not gonna cause a fuss if a article is only available in a certain language. myself and others have posted articles here before from a foreign language using google translate. It's no reason to claim rhey are of no value unless you have a predisposed bias.

F**k, but these okes have a living fear for Afrikaans. Don't blame them though. The language do force down fear and respect onto others.

Blade's mind is still being oppressed, just like Biko warned. Worse is he's doing it all himself, there's no-one forcing Afrikaans on anyone, the threat is all in his little Mbete brain.

I'm Afrikaans so I obviously don't have a problem understanding this article. If this was in Zulu then I would be annoyed.
Go to a coloured school and tell them that, jy sal op jou p**s kry:ROFL:
Was thinking the same. Lol

I must admit that he seems to be very woke. Ultra woke I should say. Well done to him. I wonder what he is like at a social gathering. I should bring him along to a game of rugby.
