Attempts to obliterate Afrikaans from existence have been around everytime the British ruled in South Africa by outlawing the use of Afrikaans in schools and business. No-one succeeded and no-one ever will. I am proudly Afrikaans speaking with an excellent command of English, isiZulu and xi-Tsonga, thank you very much!

Had to drop to standard grade to pass. *hahaha* I think to a large extent i was to blame myself. I was so irritated by the fact i had to learn it, that i really didn't bother much.

I passed Afrikaans on higher grade with a D - no idea how because I think I think I left out the answers to half the papers.. I can understand, but don't ask me to speak @Carla, how is it that we can go through 12 years of schooling and not be fluent, nevermind the fact that we are immersed to an extent…
