February 21 was International Mother Language Day! The day highlights the importance of respecting and preserving all languages and recognising how language shapes identity, culture and heritage. It also serves to encourage people to celebrate linguistic diversity and promote understanding among different communities. Here, Laerskool Goudrand learners Lemohang Molefe and Seth Ribeiro greet our readers in their mother tongue, which is isiZulu and English.
Lemohang Molefe and Seth Ribeiro say sanibonani and hello to celebrate International Mother Language Day.
