Members of Veteran Broadcasters Foundation advocate for indigenous languages
Capricorn Review
|May 14, 2025
MEMBERS of the Veterans Broadcasters Foundation (VBF) recently convened at the Kruger National Park’s Mopani Rest Camp to reflect on their journey in broadcasting and renew their commitment to preserving South Africa’s indigenous languages.
The gathering brought together former broadcasters, many of whom are now preachers, who delivered sermons aimed at nurturing the spiritual well-being of guests.
The conference served not only as a platform for spiritual upliftment but also as a call to action to preserve cultural identity, promote language revitalisation, and to celebrate South Africa's diverse socio-cultural heritage.
VBF chairperson and sports broadcaster, Dr Bernard Koma, voiced concern over the increasing marginalisation of indigenous languages.
