I'm sure old PAXboy would'nt say that so easily if it was English being banned.
Imagine if I said, for the good of the world or so and so, English has to go.
What "Koning Rose Toring" doesn't seem to understand is that the being able to communicate in Afrikaans is a very emosional issue to most Afrikaans speaking people especially since we also have a goverment that is hell bent on tying to eradicate it from history. The English tried it once and failed and now our affirmative goverment is giving it a try. They will all fail. Afrikaans will never lie down and die.
To the man in the tower, it would be wise to treat this issue a lot more delicately as you cannot imagine or will ever understand how sensitive an issue it is.
