Just when a university is supposed to be a leveller in our society, an institution that closes the gap between rich and poor, should we unearth another form of racism by allowing an Afrikaans-only university?I, along with many South Africans, am not opposed to the Afrikaans language or Afrikaner culture and its trappings.
They defend the apartheid flag, support the music of Steve Hofmeyr, despise affirmative action, represent only Afrikaans speakers in labour disputes and challenge any promotion of blacks in labour matters. My relationship with “Oom Bey” began during the state of emergency of 1988, when I was detained without trial at Modderbee prison for leading a class boycott against apartheid education.
With a possible bleak future, the thought of going to exile to join Umkhonto weSizwe lingered in my mind – until someone told me about this progressive Afrikaner, Beyers Naude, then the general secretary of the SA Council of Churches. Instead of supporting the apex court, they angrily decided to use their apartheid-acquired wealth and skills to desecrate the memories of people like Naudé, who believed in an all-inclusive South Africa.

Serious lack of logic from Panyaza Lesufi here! How does catering for a majority black language group hijack the language? Shem!
In the meantime all the government gazette s are still written in afrikans & english... perhaps we should start there
Just a racist ni...black who can’t asccept, that people hold up their tradition and language as well as Xhosa do their circumcision of the young men. Dude, get a own fucking life !

True,
Lesufi has a horrible corrupt and deceiptful history with afrikaans. If afrikaans is so dear to him, why does he want to change an afrikaans school to english. Why does he continue to persecute white afrikaans speakers? Why do he keep on promoting the english of the colonialists.
And nobody informed Pusufi it is not an university?
If Afrikaans students had equal bursary opportunities?
Seconded
Build your Afrikaans University in Mannenburg, then I am all for it.
Its cultural...build.your own zulu university, the chinese will build a mahandaren uni...its like its culture its pride
Did you know that there is many people of color that can only speak Afrikaans. Come out of your nightmare
MEC you should deal wth this nonsensical Afrikaans University thing. These people are trying to deliberately divide and reverse progress in this country. Those are racist tendencies. They cant tolerate their kids sharing hostels or res at tertiary with blacks.EFFSouthAfrica
But honestly I am not worried about an Afrikaans only post school institution. It doesn’t bother me. There are bigger fish to fry!
Panyaza and ANC officials are failing people for their own pockets interest. Now they make it politically when others build their own university. Every year there is lines in university for students to register but they never came with idea of building 1 university
The university must be build. They are failing to build it moes . They waisting money changing the street names now they denying others to build afrikaans university,. Hai nosense. They praat afrikaans moes. It is their language. Nosense useless ANC
Is this jelousy..Are the ppl who will be attending this facility not Afrikaans speaking SAns who will one day contribute to the development of this country..why now treat them as non SAns..wheres unity in diversity.. Lesifu we all hate racism but this abt promoting a Lang no harm
I just could not believe that some amongst us were celebrating a building of an afrikaans only university in democratic SA and using it as a reference point of what we can do as black people if we put our resources together blah blah blah
Lesufi - you are an out and out racist. Just admit what is obvious, that it has nothing to do with language!
This reminds me of the soweto uprising in 1976 were students were killed for fighting the language as a medium of instruction😭
Please spend your time on more constructive issues such as eradicating pit toilets rather than trying to oppose a university from being built, Afrikaans is also spoke by many races in South Africa, oppose it if its a white only institution.
Zwelithini's budget is over R65 million and his doesn't say that
✊
Panyaza is worried that there will be no hooliganism(protest) in that university
But Wits, UCT and Rhodes did not hijack English? What is more they have a Communist as their Minister.
Sir, if the government did not practically eradicate artisanships, Solidariteit would have had no need to start this vocational training 12 years ago. You and your colleagues in charge of education would do better providing the service instead of attacking others who does.
Salaam halaal blatjang piesang
Bantu vs bantoe
Basta vs Pasta
Afrikaans afrikaans 24/7 Not a single African language use Afrikaans?
Your so called transformation, Panyaza, has killed this country! Look at Eskom and all parastatals!
Panyaza is out of order. At least Solidarity is building a university, never mind the lunguage. What about those BEE beneficiaries who blow their money on alcohol, cigars and fleshy cars - your MR RICH !!! What does he say obout them?
The ANC caught of guard scared the clever black would support the initiative now play race many blacks I have spoken to say I hope their is space for my kids Anc has done nothing but loot while private individuals are building something to better all sans
It can only come out to be persecution now that you pursue the man and not the ball....so Solidarity as a union has no place in your world....but due to poor service from public depts everyone goes private... security, education, health,to name but few
In reality by building a university they creating more space for students why should you refuse them ?
they must not do that on our soil, not in our country.
“They defend the apartheid flag, support the music of Steve Hofmeyr, despise affirmative action, represent only Afrikaans speakers in labour disputes and challenge any promotion of blacks in labour matters” Separatist/apartheid mentality must fall.
....the MYANC uses government resources & laws to promote, enrich & better the lives of only blacks......which in a good morally sound run government there would be equity...especially in SA...so if you dont cater let Afrikaners take care of their heritage not stealing tax money
Lol and you sir have a horrible history of educating the youth. Great at name changing and tweeting bit in preparing the youth for a job, not so much... guess that’s why you need to jump on every little wave you can find
Sir you have the audacity to quote Nelson Mandela when you yourself have so much in you? You are a bitter human being
We will never forget the damage that was done by Afrikaners, we will never allow that to happen again.....
He needs to grow up. The Afrikaners r exposing one of his government's failures

SA constitution is about celebration of diversity. Lesufi policy contradicts this: Het wants to anglicize education instead of giving people the opportunity to be taught in mother tongue as rest of prosperous world does Lesufi knows exactly what he is doing Big part of any Communist Revolution(NDR) is to control the education so they can re-educate the masses. Promoting Leftist Radicalism De-Colonization Chapter Twelve: Sabotaging Education (Part I) Lesufi knows exactly what he is doing Chapter Twelve: Sabotaging Education (Part II) 'Individuals with little knowledge and poor critical thinking abilities are unable to recognize lies and deceptions.'
