It’s hard not to look around and think that it is black people who are apologising for the end of apartheid. We learn English and, generally, members of the minority don’t make an effort to learn indigenous South African languages. Then, in the process, we kill our own languages. The excuse for learning English is that it is the international language of commerce. That may be the case, but China,France, Russia, South Korea and Japan, to name a few countries, are economic powers in their own right that are doing pretty well and are not apologetic about using their own languages. Reminds me of the racist chants we endured at school monkey see,monkey do,monkey see,monkey do,monkey see,monkey do
