The Democratic Alliance filed a complaint based on the Constitution with the South African Human Rights Commission over indigenous-language discrimination at Stellenbosch University.Afrikaans students at the university initially met up with Dr Leon Schreiber, a DA constituency member of parliament for Stellenbosch, and DA leader John Steenhuisen, seeking assistance after “being threatened with disciplinary action if they dared to speak their mother tongue in university residences.
“SAHRC confirmed the DA’s charge that SU ‘unfairly violated the human rights’ of Afrikaans students to ‘freedom of expression, language and culture, equality and to not be discriminated against on the basis of language, and human dignity'”.
