“”I want to start off by highlight the case of a young language researcher by the name of Claudia Snyman in South Africa and her grandmother Katrina Esau, to express the importance of language preservation, in the hopes that it also serves as a wakeup call for Namibia.””

“”It is therefore evident that the usage and revitalisation of Indigenous languages is a deliberate attempt of a form of restitution and restoration of human rights and dignity for Indigenous Minorities/Marginalised Communities in Namibia.””

“”There is an increasing cry, from especially San communities in Namibia to instruct their children in their mother tongues in ECD’s and primary education, to ensure the proper and harmonious transition into the broader education curriculum. This cry will remain unheard and ill-addressed if these languages are not given a fair chance at development, revitalisation, preservation and formal use in the mainstream education.””
