Die minister van ho\u00ebr onderwys, dr. Blade Nzimande, se bekendmaking van \u2019n regsopinie dat Afrikaans en die Khoi- en Santale inderdaad inheems is, is \u2019n oorwinning vir di\u00e9 tale. Dit kan onder meer help om Afrikaans minder kwesbaar vir die dekolonialiseringsnarratief te maak, hoewel dit heeltemal te vroeg is om die vreugdevure aan te steek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 minister het nog nie laat blyk dat hy die regsmening aanvaar nie en dit moet in ieder geval nog in die Taalraamwerk vir ho\u00ebr onderwys verreken word. Die voorgestelde oplossing \u2013 dat die beleid eerder op die \u201cvoorheen benadeelde\u201d tale as \u201cinheemse tale\u201d moet fokus \u2013 sou Afrikaans steeds uitsluit van ondersteuning en niks doen om sy aftakeling as akademiese taal te stuit nie. In di\u00e9 opsig is Afrikaans op sy laaste bene en die Afrikaanse Taalraad wil steeds met die minister hieroor vergader. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit blyk ook die idee van Afrikaans as \u201cuitheems\u201d het reeds neerslag in ander domeine gevind. Die Afrikaanse Taalraad se aansoek om deel te neem aan Unesco se internasionale dekade van inheemse tale is afgekeur en ons profiel uitgewis sonder dat enige rede daarvoor verskaf is. \u2019n Brief hieroor aan Unesco se streekskantoor in Zimbabwe is steeds nie beantwoord nie. Dieselfde geld \u2019n versoek tot gesprek aan die Suid-Afrikaanse Unesco-kantoor in Pretoria, \u2019n party wat sekerlik in Unesco se besluit oor die uitsluiting van die Taalraad geken is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 weiering van gesprek strek egter verder as Unesco. Die president se kantoor het die hoflikheid gehad om onmiddellik op die Taalraad se petisie oor die kwessie van die inheemsheid van die taal te reageer, selfs al was dit om ons weer na \u201cdie minister\u201d as die korrekte adressant te verwys. \u201cDie minister\u201d se kantoor volhard met dawerende stilte \u2013 nie net teenoor die Taalraad nie, maar ook teenoor ander beswaarde organisasies soos die DAK-netwerk. Ook die Taalraad se pogings om met die Council for Higher Education \u2013 dit is hulle wat die gewraakte definisie van inheemse tale aan die departement en die minister aanbeveel het \u2013 word met stilte begroet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wat word bereik deur stemme van voetsoolvlak af \u2013 bruin, wit en swart \u2013 te ignoreer? Watter soort regering hanteer kommunikasie met burgers en kiesers op di\u00e9 manier? Die voortgesette afdwing van die Bantoe- of Sintoetale (Nguni-tale) as die enigste inheemse tale van die land maak steeds \u2019n grap van insluiting en \u201csosiale kohesie\u201d. Wigte word tussen bevolkingsgroepe ingedryf eerder as dat wedersydse begrip en samehorigheid bevorder word. Daarby \u00eds dit baie moontlik om meer inklusief en gereg met taal om te gaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pleks daarvan dat nie-regeringsorganisasies aandag kan gee aan die oorbrugging van die groot klowe in ons samelewing, moet hulle skamele begrotings mors op pogings om met \u2019n regering te praat wat horende doof is. \u2019n Situasie soos di\u00e9 lei noodwendig een of ander tyd tot groeiende wrewel en \u2019n opwelling van emosie. Die een of ander tyd word besluit praat help nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die minister het die regsmening reeds in Oktober verlede jaar ontvang. Tot nou is nog geen verskoning gevra vir die growwe belediging wat die defini\u00ebring as uitheems \u2013 veral vir die Khoi- en Santale as die oertale van die land, maar ook vir Afrikaans \u2013 inhou nie. Dieselfde geld die voortgesette aftakeling van Afrikaans as akademiese taal \u2013 \u2019n taal wat duisende uit die kaak van ekstreme strukturele diskriminasie kan red. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die regering se hardkoppige en hardvogtige benadering tot taal vervreem nodeloos \u2019n groot segment van die bevolking en sal mettertyd as voorbeeld van n\u00f3g \u2019n mislukte beleid geld. Sporadiese en halfhartige pogings tot verdeel en heers sal dit nie verhinder nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
