The Official Unofficials

South Africa recognizes eleven official languages, many of them African languages. Yet, these "official" languages remain largely sidelined in education, business, and government. "The Official Unofficials" explores the reasons behind this marginalization. Investigate the legacy of colonialism, the dominance of English, and unequal access to resources. This book proposes solutions for empowering African languages, promoting multilingualism, and creating a truly inclusive society that reflects the rich linguistic diversity of South Africa.
