Minister Xingwana to launch a Language Awareness campaign
18 February 2010

The Minister of Arts and Culture, Ms Lulu Xingwana invites members of
the media to a launch of a Language Awareness campaign. As part of
government's efforts to develop and promote South Africa's 11 official
languages, the national language policy framework and implementation
plan were developed and adopted in 2003.  The national language policy
framework seeks to give effect to the constitutional provisions of
multilingualism and the development of all the official languages.
Consistent with our vision of promoting multilingualism, the Language
Awareness campaign seeks to create public awareness about language
rights and responsibilities.
