DA-leader John Steenhuisen conducted a fact-finding mission to Stellenbosch University today after reports that students were banned from speaking Afrikaans at their residences and certain public spaces on campus. Ons het gesprekke gevoer met van die betrokke studente, sowel as met studente-organisasies en verteenwoordigers van die konvokasie wie hul kommer uitgespreek het oor die manier waarop hulle geïntimideer word.
The DA will now lodge a complaint with the South African Human Rights Commission and the Commission for the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities to investigate this apparent violation of language rights. Ons is baie bekommerd oor wat tans afspeel op Stellenbosch en dring namens miljoene Afrikaanssprekendes daarop aan dat moedertaalonderrig uitgebrei word, nie aangeval word nie.
