Our next guest is challenging us to have an honest conservation on language use since the dawn of democracy. He argues that the government is elevating some languages and neglecting others through its policy. He takes readers back to the CODESA negotiations to paint a picture of the initial spirit of the Constitution's sixth section. He unpacks the importance of shifting our linguistic landscape 28 years on. He also addresses seeking visibility for all of our indigenous languages in government and multimedia platforms to build social cohesion.
Guest: Prof. Thabo Ditsele - Associate Professor of Sociolinguistics and Linguistic Anthropology at the Tshwane University of Technology
