WATCH | ANC MP gets standing ovation from DA for defending Afrikaans

Speaking in the National Assembly on Thursday, ahead of Heritage Day on Tuesday, Malomane touched on SA's rich diversity, the meaning of the national flag and the government’s coat of arms.

“When our first democratically elected government decided to make Heritage Day one of our national days, we did so because our rich cultural heritage has a profound power to help build our new nation,” she said. However, it was her speech about Afrikaans in the national anthem that received a standing ovation from the DA.is sung in parliament, Malomane made it clear that this part of the song was as important and that South Africans should sing it with pride.

“When the national anthem was introduced, it has the Afrikaans version. We need to sing it, as it unites us. Never again can we allow narrow-nationalism to creep in and consume our nation. “On the 24th of September, it's Heritage day. Whether you are coloured, whether you are black or whether you call yourself other colours ... let us unite and celebrate Heritage Day,” said Malomane.

ANC and Da same party

If I listened to Julius_S_Malema carefully in Parliament.EFF is NOT opposed to Afrikaans as a language or being sung as part of the national anthem; their problem is the specific words copied & pasted in the current national from Apartheid Die Stem which was sang from 1957-1994

la di etsa tlhe batho ba bantsho kampo le fostiwa ke di payslip?

And people still wonder why Pretoria is Pretoria, ANC took over from where NP left off and they’re continuing with the apartheid legacy

They both working for the same boss and objective. Verwoed would be proud of what MyANC has become. Infact he will regret banning them for so long maybe apartheid would have been defended as they do to apartheid beneficiaries

Probably lobbied to do so....lol.
