Dag almal,

Hierdie artikel rakende Afrikaans het gister in Die Beeld verskyn:
http://www.news24.com/Beeld/Hoofartikels/0,,3-65_1689225,00.html

?'n Ministeri?le komitee oor die ontwikkeling van inheemse tale as
onderrigmedium in ho?r onderwys het volgens die Suid-Afrikaanse Akademie vir
Wetenskap en Kuns pas in 'n verslag nagelaat om Afrikaans as 'n inheemse
taal te kategoriseer wat versorging nodig het om te kan oorleef in 'n
omgewing wat deur Engels oorheers word.

Me. Naledi Pandor, minister van onderwys, behoort toe te sien dat di? oorsig
reggestel word voordat s? 'n verslag aanvaar word.

Afrikaans is 'n inheemse taal. Die taal is in onderwys onder druk vanwe?
owerheidsaandrang dat die fokus op Engels moet wees. Dieselfde geld die
ander amptelike tale. Almal behoort deur die staat ondersteun te word soos
die Grondwet in art. 6(2) voorsien.

Enigiemand wat enige twyfel oor Afrikaans se status as inheemse taal het,
kan gerus art. 6 (1) van ons Grondwet lees. Dit kategoriseer Afrikaans saam
met die tale wat in die ministeri?le komitee se verslag gemeld word.?

Die webtuiste vir die SA Akademie vir Wetenskap en Kuns is by
http://www.akademie.co.za/
en bevat interessante inligting.

Groete,
Elsie Zinsser
