Mboweni disagrees with university phasing out AfrikaansThe finance minister tweeted that he does not believe that phasing out of Afrikaans at UP is the best decision for the country. Don't listen to that fool. He is still colonized and traumatized. It will take something extraordinary to free him. According to him, 1976 was just a waste of time. So the likes of Mboweni represent the intellects of the ANC more reason not to vote for it such ill kind of thinking

Mboweni's stance against scrapping of Afrikaans at UP causes stirThe scrapping of Afrikaans as a medium of instruction at the University of Pretoria has been welcomed, however, some disagree with the move, including Finance Minister Tito Mboweni. What are your thoughts on the matter? What's the fuss Afrikaans is not thought in local schools, so scraping it would be a good thing He lost touch with the real world. My sister was doing Masters at UP in Afrikaans and she couldn't understand and victimized when she complained about the lecture.. Is this how our children should live.. Hell no.. He is very irrelevant.. He does not fit to lead the country You can change every university in the country to English only. Ons sal net nuwe Universiteite bou wat in Afrikaans klas gee. Afrikaners dink elke dag nuwe idee’s uit om ons taal te beskerm en te bevorder. Hoekom ons af skiet oor dit? Bou jou eie taal op!
