Op 8 Mei 2025 sal dit presies 100 jaar wees sedert Afrikaans \u2018n amptelike taal van Suid-Afrika geword het. Afrikaanse organisasies, instansies, maatskappye, skole en enigiemand anders wat Afrikaans as inheemse taal koester, word genooi om by Afrikaans 100-feesvieringe betrokke te raak deur hul eie inisiatiewe van stapel te stuur om di\u00e9 groot geleentheid te vier. Die feesjaar moet \u2018n positiewe, opbouende ervaring wees vir alle lede van die Afrikaanse gemeenskap, asook enige ander Suid-Afrikaners wat met hierdie feesvieringe te doen kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die feesjaar sluit op 8 Mei 2025 af met \u2018n groot gesamentlike feesgeleentheid wat by die Afrikaanse Taalmuseum en -monument in die Paarl gehou word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die 100 jaar-vieringe bied die Afrikaanse gemeenskap die geleentheid om die fokus te plaas op die gedeelde ontstaansgeskiedenis van Afrikaans en erkenning te gee aan die ontwikkeling van Afrikaans as moedertaal en spreektaal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVir enige taal om honderd jaar oud te word as amptelike taal is \u2018n belangrike mylpaal,\u201d s\u00ea dr. Theuns Eloff, voorsitter van die Afrikaans 100-oorsigkomitee. \u201cOns het vroeg begin om \u2018n oorsigkomitee saam te stel om \u2018n raamwerk te skep waarbinne alle organisasies, klein en groot,in die volgende twee jaar en ver\u00e1l die laaste ses maande voor 8 Mei 2025 Afrikaans se 100ste bestaansjaar as amptelike taal in Suid-Afrika kan vier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk dink die feit dat Afrikaans sy amptelike taalstatus oorleef het te midde van al die politieke verandering is op sigself iets om te vier. Daarmee saam het Afrikaans in die afgelope 100 jaar ontsaglik baie mylpale bereik. Al daardie mylpale moet gevier word,\u201d s\u00ea Eloff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die oorsigkomitee sal \u2018n ko\u00f6rdinerende rol speel in die aanbied van \u2018n nasionale Afrikaans 100-veldtog. Voorts is werkskomitees vir verskillende sektore saamgestel uit \u2018n wye en verteen-woordigende groep Afrikaanse organisasies. Di\u00e9 werkskomitees sal, onder leiding van die Afrikaanse Taalraad (ATR) en die Afrikaanse Taalmuseum en -monument (ATM), verantwoor-delik wees daarvoor om talle feeste en geleenthede op alle vlakke van die samelewing deur die land te hou, tot met die groot feesgeleentheid op 8 Mei 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Waarom word 2025 spesifiek as Afrikaans se 100ste verjaardag beskou?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDit is belangrik dat die klem val op 100 jaar van Afrikaans se amptelike status,\u201d verduidelik Michael Jonas, direkteur van die Afrikaanse Taalmuseum en -monument. \u201cDie ontstaan en ontwikkeling van Afrikaans dateer terug na na 1595. Dikwels word hierna verwys as die eerste periode in die geskiedenis van Afrikaans. Dit is egter 8 Mei 1925 wat onthou en herdenk sal word as een van die monumentele mylpale in die geskiedenis van di\u00e9 relatiewe jong Afrika-taal. Die Wet op Amptelike Tale van Suid-Afrika, Wet 8 van 1925, is op di\u00e9 datum in die destydse parlement aanvaar. Ingevolge di\u00e9 besluit is Afrikaans, naas Engels, as amptelike taal van Suid-Afrika erken.\u201d Die Afrikaans 100-oorsigkomitee verwelkom die ander Suid-Afrikaanse inheemse tale se status as amptelike tale sedert 1996, en ook gebaretaal sedert 2023. Afrikaans 100-feesvieringe word gere\u00ebl in \u2018n gees van samewerking met ander inheemse taalgemeenskappe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWat Afrikaans in die afgelope 100 jaar bereik het, kan beskou word as \u2018n norm vir ander inheemse tale van wat bereik k\u00e1n word indien \u2018n taal die nodige aandag en hulpbronne tot sy beskikking het,\u201d s\u00ea Jonas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wie kan deelneem aan Afrikaans 100?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Enige gemeenskap, organisasie, skool, maatskappy, instansie of individu wat die doelwitte van die Afrikaans 100-inisiatief deel, word genooi om deel van die feesvieringe te wees deur hul eie projekte van stapel te stuur. Die doelwitte van die Afrikaans 100-inisiatief is vervat in \u2018n manifes wat in hierdie mediapakkie beskikbaar is. Organisasies wat deel wil vorm van die Afrikaans 100-inisiatief, word genooi om die manifes te onderteken en te stuur na info@afrikaans100.org. By ontvangs van die getekende manifes sal die oorsigkomitee die amptelike Afrikaans 100-handelsmerk aan sulke instansies verskaf, wat dit dan op hul eie kommunikasie, bemarking en ander inisiatiewe kan gebruik om aan te dui dat hulle deel is van die groter Afrikaans 100-inisiatief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die oorsigkomitee<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Die oorsigkomitee bestaan uit die volgende lede, in alfabetiese volgorde: Astrid de Vos (Dagbreek Trust), dr Theuns Eloff (Trust vir Afrikaanse Onderwys) (voorsitter), Dianne Ferrus (skrywer en digter), Werner Human (Solidariteit Beweging), Michael Jonas (Afrikaanse Taalmuseum en -monument) (ondervoorsitter), Susan Lombaard (Maroela Media), Karen Meiring (Nuuseum), Sinki Mlambo (NWU), Hendrik Theys (UWK), Merlyn van der Rheede (Afrikaanse Taalraad), Heindrich Wyngaard (Kaapse Forum). Die Afrikaanse Taalraad met Ria Olivier en Conrad Steenkamp tree as sekretariaat op.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Navrae oor die Afrikaans 100-feesvieringe kan gerig word aan Merlyn van der Rheede by info@afrikaans100.org. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Op 8 Mei 2025 sal dit presies 100 jaar wees sedert Afrikaans ‘n amptelike taal van Suid-Afrika geword het.
