MASUNGA - Indigenous languages matter most especially to the natives as they are
an embodiment of culture and self, says the Francistown High Court Judge Justice
Mosojane.

Speaking at the annual Domboshaba Cultural Festival over the weekend, Mr
Mosojane said it is important to have interest in developing, preserving and
perpetuating languages for posterity in the country.

Mr Mosojane said language should matter to the government whose duty is to
protect the rights of people equitably without fear or favour.
