After a 2021 complaint against Stellenbosch University, it emerged that newcomer students 'were prohibited from speaking any language other than English in their residences, public spaces and even on park benches'.
Schreiber said in response to confirmation of the finding by the SAHRC that it was “an enormous victory”. The complaint was lodged in 2021 when it came to light that newcomer students “were prohibited from speaking any language other than English in their residences, public spaces and even on park benches”.He said the DA was approached by Afrikaans students who said they were “threatened with disciplinary action” if they spoke their mother tongue in residences.
In May 2021 the SAHRC said it would engage with university leadership, including vice-chancellor Wim de Villiers, and “invite other affected [parties] to make submissions” so it could “determine the extent of the violations of various human rights, including the right to equality on the basis of language”.
Still a racist ass organization
Well done DA
Oh goodness go piss in the pot who cares
SAHRC is a terrible institution, always bias.
What is it that is special about Afrikaans? We have 11 official languages already, they don't feel violeted too?
Management that made these rules, must be fired.
Were they expecting a coded message from the 5th Reikh in Afrikaans or something? Weren't there other students whom English & Afrikaans were not their first languages?
Useless commission
