Cape Town -
A postdoctoral fellow at UWC’s Department of Political Studies, Dr Shingai Mutizwa-Mangiza said: “The language issue cannot be seen in isolation. The choice will involve issues of culture, power and of course there is the short-term cost of new literacy generation. Who will pay for it? There would also have to be a timeline. When do we want it to become the common language?”
Stellenbosch University School of Security and African Studies lecturer, Professor Ntsikelelo Breakfast, said: “This idea of having one language is noble, however it cannot happen overnight due to the social cleaving of the African continent. Africa has many ethnic groups and this compounds the issue in question.”
An expert in South African and regional politics and international relations issues, Professor Bhekithemba Mngomezulu, also from UWC, said: “Malema has a point. Although national pride is an issue, the idea is a sound one. It would bring Africans closer and facilitate trade opportunities.” Malema on Friday repeated his call for a common African language during an event organised by the Press Club South Africa where he had been invited to respond to Thursday night’s SONA. Malema said it didn’t have to be Swahili as he had suggested in 2018, but Zulu or any other widely used language would be suitable.
Voestek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Africa diaspora forum cult are experts in selling apples and peanuts on the streets mos.
Pure madness
MALEMA,,A FOOL WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SOLUTION THAT THE PRESIDENT PRAYED FOR,,,LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY A_FOOL,,
You want to invite bokoharam?we have enough problems as it is you fake experts
Mesono ya di experts,let them experts that
This is what will make me consider viting for the DA......they dont talk this rubbish
Those Who wants no Borders are free to Go live in those countries they wanna open borders For.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh please! What utter nonsense.....
A common language is impossible, starting with regional linguistic integration can make more sense. Opening borders without ensuring economic sustainability to all countries will lead to unregulated influx of people to certain countries which are economically stronger.
Yeaaaah neeeeeeee.
Then let's give it a specific time (10 yrs)to reach it,if not then we do it by force.
Keep on dreaming Mr president of illegal immigrants
Teach Malema and his Red Ants, how to respect, how to obey, how to follow parliament and constitutional rules and process. Teach them how go have class and dignity at high exposure events like the SONA. NOT BEHAVE LIKE UNCOUTH UNEDUCATED PEOPLE.
Okay... U go learn ur Easy language and then converse with the rest of the world. This language nonsense is the least of our worries as a country. No money to fix eskom, saa etc. Now they gona spend billions on printing books to teach language that's not necessary ryt now?
One word ' xenophobia'
Lol Google helped. Isnt that Dr is a Zim?. SA cannot sustain its own Airlines, Power Utility, Banks, Post Offices hospitals, & Parliament. how in the hell are we gona make this a walk in as u please state? Utter rubbish. Fix SA, OUR home first. Julius_S_Malema MYANC Our_DA
Yup all 54 tyrants&despots will bow 2 King Poes&great leader European Unions unraveling they couldnt get it right-perhaps the experts are all communist/socialist like the schmuck commie wits prof laughingstock advisor2Malusi Gigaba-exMinister of finance
Slowly but surely
Julius_S_Malema This is just a pipe dream. There's no need at all
Experts-sociologists, found in cozy corners, working up theories, avoiding noisy human contact. They do not enjoy the hurly burly of mixing with fellow human beings but love to dictate how the majority should live their lives! Accept that worldwide english is the lingua franca!
Let him start a restrictionless entrance at his residence first.
Its official Black People are the dumbest race on earth! Yoh!
Julius_S_Malema Let him remove the fence at his house first....
List the experts or else you made this whole thing up.
English.
This will never happen in our lifetime. One reason only: power.
Which experts?
Rubbish
“Experts”
😂😂😂😂 you call Mgodoyi Faction experts?
'Experts'? On what?
IS RUN BY GEORGESOROS CONTROLLING NARRATIVE
Experts ? What experts would honestly say that is a great idea and good for all. Who’s gonna run Africa then? Undoubtably history has shown us Africa won’t unite as one,also great idea to allow all rebel groups free rain of African provinces with no problems of borders.
Nonsense Experts
Nonsense 😞
Go to hell
It happened for white ppl and their Afrikaans. It needs commitment from leaders, scholars and people at large.
It can happen if all countries can commit if we dont treat it that its only for malema...
Which experts are these? Please name them...
Didn't xenophobia just happened last year, again?
Julius_S_Malema Europe tried that with Brexit, Britain ended up leaving the European Union as they where forking millions out supporting economically weaker countries, the SA me would happen here, except a lot quicker we have the rand and not the pound
Can you name one expert pleas
Julius_S_Malema Brilliant Malema, if you listen to him with hate you won't hear the voice of the reason. Just last week people were saying he was mad about de Klerk, this week not even ANC disagree with him. He is indeed in charge, you won't understand until ANC say it.
Absolute rubbish!
BigDaddyDees1 Expert se gat!
What a pity there is so much xenophobia. Maybe if we started by spreading the most widely-spoken language, Kiswahili, we would start breaking down barriers. It is reputedly a relatively easy language to learn. Since it’s not tied to any ethnicity there’s no issue of favouritism.
Julius_S_Malema That's what made English such a powerful tool for cultural and economic development in the west. I don't know about borders but the language, joh, I can buy into that...
Remove borders its what we need
Nah they only raising their opinions like the first person who said that. wesaynotoopenboarders
All of those experts are foreigners that's why they think it's a good idea
And they'll all want to unite in SA? Go figure
Which experts?
is this newspaper still sold or the plan is to distribute for free? No one in his right mind would buy it. All newspapers push am Agenda but yours seem to be out of touch with realities effecting South African citizens
WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING THE SO CALLED EXPECT NOT MALEMA?.THEY WERE ASKED A QUESTION. THE PERSON WHO RAISED A BOADERLESS ISSUE IS MALEMA.BUT BCZ YOU CANT DARE CHALLENGE HIM YOU ATTACK THE WRONG PEOPLE. DNT BE COWARDS YOU FOOLS.
So long as they appreciate that it has to happen
And inherit the Zimbabwe economy....

Bull
Don't come here with your nonsense article.
Experts....you mean Atul people kimheller3 IamSindyMabe Seepe and all
africaupdates How many experts backed eff leader
Julius_S_Malema Reslly! I suppose he wants to be the first United Africa president. The USAR (United Socialist African Republic). I recall someone else who had those ambitions - Muammar Gaddafi. His own people killed him. I remember too the USSR. The people revolted against that too. Any takers?
There’s no electricity or fresh water in 90% of Africa. These experts must be fuxken stupid. 90% of Africa is corrupt. Ha ha. Dream on juju
This Poes Malema has herpes on the brain. Lol he’s a fuxken joke.
Those must be very optimistic experts who spend most of their time fantasizing like him!
Every Tom, Dick and Harry is now an exper 🤔
Julius_S_Malema That's absolute nonsense and stupidity. Who are those anarchic experts? Hampaa...
Experts from diplomat brothel in jhb cbd!!!!
Tell your experts together with Malema and those advocating for such nonsense to go jump.
What a lie, who are these experts Don't mislead the people of sa Its like you have been Turned into eff/malema s cheerleaders Ag xem
They are right we can follow China and America
Their are different kinds of experts, the kind you take seriously and then this ones, they should be ignored this ones.
Julius_S_Malema Free movement for Boko haram and El shabab.
Another looting scheme in the making ....
Julius_S_Malema Hayike Malema I don't agree with that one tuu kaloku, cars are getting stolen and are found in Mozambique everyday, Nigerians wheeeeee I cant even explan, Zimbabweans pewuuuuuuu
Who are these foolish experts? Va penga.
Julius_S_Malema What was the cost of English(ising) the world?
Julius_S_Malema Saying no to open boarders
Never, we dont want that.
Julius_S_Malema One Africa will never work until evil and corrupt leaders stop stealing and looting. African leaders need to starting making there countries better and try to eradicate poverty.
Expects who can't aid SA's ailing economy
Julius_S_Malema Mnxm, you are all crazy. We need solutions to our problems not a stupid language.
Julius_S_Malema This idea has some merit but on the other hand it’s almost denying the diversity of our continent. Let us first start with a proper well maintained road network for trade and travel.
Julius_S_Malema Tell that expects uyanya nyi udakiwe
Julius_S_Malema Haaisoka...why other countries are not opening their boarders
Julius_S_Malema We told you, Malema is a champion in all he does. Others are just thriving to be recognized in a small community and his name is saluted and is a continent brand. His plans are discussed by experts not at small office at Luthuli
Julius_S_Malema Lool expects 🤣🤣🤣 That's where I totally differ with Malema
Julius_S_Malema Experts of what?. I am also an experts on watching tv🤣🤣
I am volunteering Swahili.
Julius_S_Malema We're bringing back Fanagalo ?
Which experts are these? Which organizations do they represent? Are the qualified in their expert expertise? Cause as far as I am aware, African citizens love their sovereignty and borders. Malema is a minority here.
Rubbish
Experts with 10% pass rates 🙄
They can go and open their borders in Robben Island not here... Africa must unite but this isn't central, we are not the head office of this unity nonsense wtf
So that Boko haram and Al shabaab can roam around freely leaving destruction all over Africa, yeah right... A very noble idea CIC..
Spiwo I'm an eff member but i totally disagree with this
'Experts' have not backed this at all. Africa has no common economic interests, no infrastructural capacity for state centralisation, and linguistic monoculture will destroy every trace of African heritage at the local level. I'm sick of this fascist shit.
Become a Politician Come as is THIS IS HOW YOU EARN A LIVING Parasitic Scavengers All these Parasites from All Political Parties they are Secured a Fat Salary and Huge Perks for 5 years There is No Future for Us the Millions of Unemployed Citizens Shame on these Scavengers
Lol it will not happen we will fight for our country we zulus
Great Lakes countries are already combining their resources, they will be the richest block after Europe, so along the way other blocks in Africa will follow suit, so it will happen no matter how much we delay.
Guys, if you think 56 MILLION serious crimes since 1994 is bad, wait & see what will happen when they completely remove the borders. Politicians aren't worried as they have 24/7 security detail & now the MYANC wants to remove our rights to carry firearms.
Ribes_L Can I see one of those experts?
Borderless? Disaster loading
There is already a common language. English.
WE KNOW WE WERE RIGHTLY SO WITHOUT THEIR APPROVAL, This experts don't have constituency This experts must start their own political parties Today we have more than 30million black people deep in poverty because of this so called experts who had wrongly advised ANC govt
The so called experts must fold their tail and watch Africans achieve that overnight
Those experts are not well upstairs
eNCA
How many experts?
Is there any thought in what is said?...400 political parties in SA, how many on this continent?...who's going to be the president of the continent....looting on a much larger scale.
Abobani labo experts
They cannot even speak common sense this is a hurdle to high for them. Tsek!!
Has IOL entered into some deal with Malema ? Like 'we give you the headlines in exchange for you joining our State Capture fightback' ?
WHAT!!!!! thats crazy...
Nonsense
United We Thrive as Africa,Divided we fall as Africa!

EDITORIAL: Malema the unexpected victor as DA scores own goal on apartheidThe DA’s response to De Klerk’s offensive apartheid remarks created further bad feeling when it might just have kept quiet What changed? Every which way but loose. I can tell u right now, the DA will pay for that own goal for the rest of this year and right into the local elections and beyond.. Steenhuisen and Mazonne will have their hands full shame

Riotous Assemblies Act has no place in SA, says counsel for Julius MalemaThe Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) have called on the Constitutional Court to uphold a high court ruling that a section of the Riotous Assemblies Act is unconstitutional. What's wrong with our media? Why do you hate blacks so much? Is this picture relevant to the story or it is a way ridiculing black leaders?
