ANC COPE

Are these foreign parties?

Why fight them - only to end up stuck on their essence and indeed what psychologically elevates them - their language and hence their myth?

Would wefind French or German used as the official medium of transacting busines in UK or UK's House of Commons?

Now, when will these South African political parties go native? Is it too difficult? Is it time to get started? What are the issues AND how can they be addressed - in a way that promotes the rapid acceptance of a local lingo?

What would King Shaka do?

How important is language in promoting a social awareness and identity? Critical.

[More on 'language' later. For now, let us just say that as long as South Africans still speak the foreign language in their formal and/or informal communication, they (subconsciously) subordinate themselves to those who claim the language as theirs.]
