Almost all Afrikaans speakers can read English. Thanks to the British empire lol

Yes, thank the Turtles. Lol. In Egoli, when one person speaks to another in Afrikaans, the other person responds in English, and then the first person responds in Afrikaans again. That's so retarted.

No it's not. I'll often do that with Afrikaans speakers - I understand afrikaans, but hate speaking it. So I'll speak english, they'll speak afrikaans, and we all understand each other and we're all happy.

Yeah, but can you imagine having subtitles in all 11 official languages up there at once? :D Unfortunately I don't think we have the technology to switch between subtitles.
 
next: 7de laan
followed shortly by ALL the other crap locally produced soaps

soaps in general are mind numbing, but local stuff seriously make me naar. orkney snork nie was funny, but the acting of yesteryear was much better (correct me if i'm wrong). its like it was unanimously decided to drop standards: "no, just walk around and pretend like you are reading your lines from a script. no... SLOWER! with no facial expression! there you go!!!! :D "
 
yay :) I get to watch what I want in that time slot, alot of good shows air in that time slot

We do actually, but DStv chooses not to utilise that technology propably because they think their subscribers aren't intelligent enough to know how to switch closed captions on or off. We can however choose to switch closed captions on with subtitles for deaf people for certain programmes (usually hit series and movies on M-Net and M-Net Movies), however, it is possible to have multiple closed captions run at once so that subscribers can have the choice to have subtitles in the language they prefer, much like on a DVD. All our decoders can do this, I just don't know why Multichoice don't make use of the technology.
