MPHO NGOEPE | In the spirit of the NDP 2030, we should participate fully in efforts to liberate ourselves from conditions that hinder the flowering of our talents. One such effort is reading.
As a result of poor reading culture, few people write in indigenous languages and few publishers publish in African languages.
My biggest fear with this is that indigenous languages will become extinct. SA’s reading crisis is a topic of ongoing debate and several strategies for improvement have been proposed, such as promoting a culture of reading; encouraging parents to read to their children; making books accessible in schools and improving teacher education.
