'Jou MASE taal' unpacks the power and politics of Afrikaans

Cape Argus

|

September 17, 2025

FOR around seven million South Africans, Afrikaans plays a defining role in identity, community and culture.

The series explores the complex relationship black and coloured Afrikaans speakers have with the language: how they live it, how it makes them feel, and whether they embrace or reject it.
