<p>Stellenbosch University will implement a new language policy from January 2017. </p>
<p>CAPE TOWN - Stellenbosch
University is planning to revise the language policy so that students
from non-Afrikaans backgrounds can be accommodated.</p><p>But some have
expressed concern that this will see the demise of Afrikaans, even
though the university council has said that they don't plan on scaling
back on their Afrikaans offerings.</p><p>Stellenbosch University
rector,Professor Wim de Villiers, says, “I would like to sum it up in
two words, and that is 'inclusive multilingualism'.”</p><p>Listen to the SoundCloud above as he chats to CapeTalk's Kieno Kammies about what this means for students.</p>
