I know - understandably - no-one reads these posts, but I have to get this out there. I read an article last night (I lied it was 1 in the morning) that Stellenbosch University, one the most Afrikaans unies in South Africa, has banned the colloquial speaking of Afrikaans on campus. I always thought that maybe one day Afrikaans would be banned, but now that is a reality coming closer and closer over the horizon.

I only know in detail one instance of a language being banned and that's when after the Jacobite Rebellions, the "UK" (cough cough England) banned the speaking of Scottish Gaelic, and I can't sit and watch the people I interact with daily suffer the same way my ancestors did.

I'm not Afrikaans, and I know the history of Afrikaners is by no means peachy and rosy, but you can't let the actions of the past taint the view of the present. #DON'TKILLAFRIKAANS
