The University of Cape Town (UCT) has launched an exciting new language policy that celebrates the beauty of multilingualism. By incorporating English, isiXhosa, and Afrikaans, this policy aims to create a more inclusive and welcoming space for all students. Officially unveiled on International Mother Language Day, the initiative emphasizes the importance of indigenous languages and cultural understanding. UCT’s focus on teaching isiXhosa and other local languages not only enriches learning but also helps students connect with South Africa’s diverse heritage. This bold step positions UCT as a leader in promoting equality and appreciation for all languages.
