“Girl is probably fluent in isiZulu but her parents may have wanted her to take this route of learning European languages so that she can leave and go study in Europe and get a job there. That way she can escape this high youth (graduate) unemployment of RSA.”
@KarenBayley4 said:
“Excellent. Congratulations. Makes a big difference when you’re in a private school paying R6965 a month. So sad that the vast majority of SA children are at the mercy of basic education Dept. Please @AngieMotshekga give them a better chance.”
@Nox_Qwabe reacted:
“I do not think they looking down on indigenous languages, firstly the school is literally called Deutsche Internationale Schule Johannesburg and secondly as much as our African languages are beautiful you aren’t getting a job in MIT or Harvard with them that's just reality.”
