Years of Experience
South Africa is largely diverse, with multi racial, cultural and lingual societies that meet
- In workplaces where others are marginalised in areas of work causing no racial integration in townships, they cannot apply or be deployed in teaching, nursing and any customer service posts because of lack of African languages.
- Gossiping in vernacular is a corporate culture that creates mistrust and non cohesiveness between races all due to language barriers.
- In Schools where kids cannot get 2nd and third school language homework help from parents who do not speak them.
- Sports and play grounds are now also a place where kids enjoy freely singing war cries in vernacular. A true beautiful testimony of a Rainbow Nation!
- In social places of worship, Arts & Culture where people pray and play together calling upon a sense of belonging and pride.
- All these relationships extend after hours where peers invite each other to their family and friends (braai’s, baby showers, birthday parties, etc,) SA is also a place that attracts many fellow Africans and foreigners worldwide who come to live and work, making it their home, and want to interact with ordinary South Africans and learn any of the +12 rich languages and cultures.
