'There is no language that is superior to another' - Ramaphosa

[grok]

He is no Chief but our democratically elected President of the Republic, unless you were barred from voting because of your unflattering BEE points?

Didn't you lot vote for Zuma too? What an own-goal lol..

OK So CR is wealthy and is so big time.
Do you disagree?
Please enlighten us as to the the companies he created that made his wealth.
The Oppenheimers created riches from their own risk and effort, so did Raymond Ackerman, Johan Rupert.
More recently, Mark Shuttleworth,. Elon Musk, GT Ferreira, and Capitec players. Naspers players.

Please tell us exactly what contribution did that frog make to become so wealthy and then still have the cheek to express his opinion about the value of languages.

Explain to me why I should enlighten you about Cyril's business dealings?

Like you would know.

You can't because they were handouts to curry favour.

However, can you please tell me what linguistic expertise that fat frog has to comment with authority on language matters.?
Ramafrotter is a PISS-AND-WIND MERCHANT. No more, no less.

"He was the joint non-executive chairman of Mondi plc and non-executive chairman of MTN Group Limited and SASRIA Limited. Ramaphosa was also the Non-executive director of SAB Miller plc, Lonmin plc, Macsteel Global BV, Alexander Forbes Equity Holdings Limited and The Standard Bank Group Limited. But left the companies when he chose to become Deputy President."
The point I'm trying to make.
None of these were of his own doing; he was a window dressing and offered no value.

What linguistic expertise do you have to question his linguistic expertise?

Somewhat more than the fat frog has.
It is not for me to list my research or qualifications but I'm confident that my standing in this field is somewhat a step or two higher than the P & W Merchant.

Okay linguistic expert, and for your information he is not the Frog, he is the Frog Boiler, big difference.

He wasn't talking from a linguistic standpoint but from constitutional point. Languages have equal standing but for convenience and ease of communication, most communication is conducted in English.

It's a different story from linguistics point.

I have no idea who voted for Zuma. I think he rigged the election.

Spoken like a true comrade, if it cannot be kicked down the road, it gets sweeped under the carpet. Anything to avoid taking personal responsibility..

You're just as bad as lesufi.

Ok

I haven't read the thread, so I'm sure I'm repeating someone. So forgive me.

The language of love folks - that be superior to all
