Anc Assures Citizens That Afrikaans Wont Disappear

The African National Congress ANC has assured South Africans that the Afrikaans language will not disappear following President Cyril Ramaphosas pronouncement that the BELA Act must be implemented in its entirety.

Two clauses in the BELA Act have been opposed by various political parties and civil organisation groups, which have stated that the full implementation of the Act would pose a threat to the Afrikaans language.

However, the ANC has dismissed that assertion.

ANC NEC member Febe Potgieter says that all languages must be protected as enshrined in the constitution.
