Totally agree with you minister TM, I see what you see

I studied at Tuks and I would attend a so called English class but delivered in Afrikaans. That meant that I would go to class and seat there but afterwards do double what my other student are doing in order to pass. So tito_mboweni tito's that what you wish for us?

Establishment tools whom will not rock the boat

There is no need for that language

Mzansi's Board of Directors is a disgrace.

What is sad is that rich black parents are doing everything to make sure they cleanse their kids of any ability to learn african languages. Siyabuka nje nikhulisa amabhunu amancane nibe nithi anibafuni

Someone should take this one's phone

Ungenaphi wena?Are you the descendant na

Tito is captured by his master's from Stellenbosch.. his a black Afrikaner.. he must vacate that office.

That’s fine , as long as we educate the people and increase the middle class

A free country this is!we may agree/disagree but all are allowed to expresses their own views

We regret phasing out our South African indigenous languages!

Tito o tsofalla social media

Iemand met verstand! Dankie Mnr!!

I thought Stellenbosch University was the only Uni that had this, and they had to phase out Afrikaans, wow talking about living in a box😥

sherwiebp We will regret NOT phasing Tito out.

In an ideal world all african languages would be embraced in institutions of higher learning (in SA) as medium (or media) of instructions.

Fikile (Mr Fearfokkol) Consequences of twitting and drinking .

OPEN YOUR BRAIN FIRST BEFORE OPENING YOUR MOUTH!!

tito_mboweni sounds like the minister is still opressed...run minister run!!! there is no longer a chain on ur leg

Ramaphosa brought all the rubble back to rule us with him as one of them. We are doomed if we do not remove this threat to the future of this country.

This is very controversial for a Minister to comment in that way. Anyway you are not obliged to comment Minister please. Mi hi chicha ndzhuti or vona Masotho va ka nwina.

How many black South Africans speak Afrikaans as a first language?

Whe it looks and acts like a fool, then it is one. That's Tito Mboweni.

Mr Minister, are u ok?

Mxm

It just gives more momentum to establishing afrikaans universities

This is really disheartening considering how this language was used as a tool to exclude black people from most things

Tuks were faced with a choice between 1 language OR Afrikaans plus all other official languages including Zulu, Sotho, Xhosa, etc. What would you have done tito_mboweni in your personal capacity?

tito_mboweni what are you smo-king hosi?

Is there something you know that we don't Mr. Mboweni? Or you in someone's payroll because what came says alot

Do you remember this? Even if you were to ask or investigate if they were ever punished. The answer will be no they are still rooming the streets

If this man thinks like this,what about his responsibilities as a finance minister Compatriots you see why we have the highest unemployment 🤷,we also have the highest thoughtless ignoramus in the office of the finance minister Says a lot about ramaphosa

1976 children/ student's blood ran through the streets of our country fighting that Afrikaans should never ever be used as a medium of instruction. And you want us to really see what you saw before announcing or you just felt it was not your child that died, so you dont care.sis

NEVER!

Minister I totally disagree with u on this one,we know Afrikaans and we are benefiting nothing from that language is better I learn Swahili.

tito_mboweni consider your del unfollowed. Manyala phela lodoti sewukhulumako.

He is just smoking dagga on top of Hector Peterson's grave, REALLY! tito_mboweni

Mr Minister, you are clearly not savvy with social media and better off doing your job and stay out of twitter. Kahle kahle when last have you said something meaningful about your job?

Couldn't have said it better myself TitoMboweni

If this is the new dawn the president always refers to, ngiyayi bonga these rich coconut are out of touch with reality, the students suffers daily at these racist institutions

Please explain your sentiments, sir, tito_mboweni SMH

I'm slowly starting to doubt the fitness of the old man to hold that office. Balance us minister stop the threats.

This ain’t it

I will only support this statement when our indigenous languages are also given a chance ..

Hai...

Our finance minister defending nonsense. Shame man.

Bua Masipa

I am sure all Afrikaans speaking students appreciate Minister Mboweni's standpoint. This is how bridges are buildt!!

You're alone in this. Not with us.

He is saying ‘f&$ you class and lives lost in 1976...

What you have just said is not valuable.

what is he smoking?

Tito

Mr Kigali must retire , all old no brains

She should've said 'Sha, Sha' after that statement

Why Tito chooses afrikaans instead of his mother tongue? Something is wrong with these OLD MAN.

Then we will start new Afrikaans Universities, there will be more than enough Afrikaans lecturers to keep a high and international acceptable standard. One thing you will never take away from the Afrikaners is their will and hunger for educational excellence!

Maybe he should start by leading by example, deliver a national budget speech in Afrikaans. We might be convinced of its possibility. He is not the one to walk the talk. He only talks the walk. How sad.

Existence is other ingidinous languages in SA will be under threat by 2050. Afrikaans will still go strong as it will continue to be developed at tertiary level through Academia.

I equally don’t understand why people don’t want a South African language to be used schools?

Who's we?

Deal with the country Financial matters your advice is irrelevant. Thank you

I did say our country is being ran by old people while we have a young fresh and brighter generation,it's like an old age home, look how embarrassing they are

Terror Lekota is that you? Remove your mask man 😂😂😂

Uzive seyetshilo 🤔

Please focus on being finance minister. Yekela izinto ongahlangene nazo.

Tito must be given a chance to explain himself fully, we must let go of the urge of always wanting to be right & align ourselves with the urge to do what’s right ... Quote me.

We shouldn't deprive our fellow BOERERS they also sacrificed alot keeping our economy stable.. It's not thier problem if we can't get our systems right.

Our language policies are letting us down as citizens how can we put our trust in those leaders if they speak something like this, after what happened in 1976

Babi abantu ephalamende

I wonder what was Minister going to say if it was our native languages. It so amazing how a language that is spoken by minority in the country be more advantageous compared to other languages that have majority speakers.

Anc doesnt care about black people,we still opressed today by the white minority coz of imbalances created by apartheid, its clear anc is protecting the interests of white people, we will still experience racism because of white privilege,apartheid is still alive because of anc

Indeed when consciousness leaves a person doesn't say goodbye. I never expected this development from you Sir, tito_mboweni

Aow Bra tito_mboweni, kante what happened? Or your handle is hacked?

tito_mboweni Musa ukunya wena, why is this guy a minister again? CyrilRamaphosa you'll get my vote kwamsoon

Bathong Ntate oo

Kanti ubuye udakwe yini mfo ka mboweni?

ThumaMina here is another one playing disunity. You know what to do

Afrikaners must go it alone. Enough of this mixing with corrupts, thieves and robbers........

Minister did you study there? Do you have the slightest idea of what the students had to endure all in the name of qualification? Remember it's good to keep quiet if you don't have anything good to say 🙄🙄

TitoMustResign TitoMustResign TitoMustResign TitoMustResign TitoMustResign

Minister Mboweni is losing it. I'm sure it's only him will regret the phasing our of Afrikans. Our institutions must be transformed....

Why 🤔

His a minister not a president,gah voetsek nxn

to regret what? if it was English that has been removed i was going to get worried, Afrikaans is just not that necessary.

How so? How will we regret it? What will make us regret it? MYANC remove this thing frm that ministerial position.

'I rather keep my Afrikaners' tito_mboweni

What is wrong ngo Tito? Lotata must be sick bt hasn't bn diagnosed....I 'm worried ngemali yethu kengoku

A rare picture of Tito mbowene ... physiologically oppressed .. enough of Afrikaans it’s time for change rather all languages or English only. Afrikaans AfrikaansMustFall

I think Tito's lack of dressing sense is affecting his ability to think and reason

true - another zim on the way

Why? to keep their language alive while our many native languages are disregarded? ninyile goed!!

Something went horrible wrong with Mr Minister. Can you pls explain your thinking behind this statement .

That colonial fanakalona must fall

He’s not constructive here at all

Modimo wa khotso. tito_mboweni o tshwere ke sebono, straight.

It’s a native language. You must accept it. Let’s not be stingy.

The biggest regret is recycling old people to be in the cabinet

A language is never an enemy. It's organic

House slave

I think is a good move phasing Afrikaans out

So you mean 16 June 1976 was a joke

Who is we? Is us we? Who is he talking about?

Isnt that English is an international medium...if Afrikaans is so important to you then we want Zulu Sotho pedi etc. Anyway these are the results of bringing pensioners to become leaders. It is proven that the old you grow , comprehension decreases

Afrikaans is a symbol of apartheid

This is the kind of nonsense I don't like

Mr Minister please outline in detail how are we going to regret it,all we hearing is threats kindly share your wisdom herein.

Tito you are always controversial. You want to be noticed.

BewickKevin Not only is it a shame, an end of an era, and a sad decision, it will be regretted, and not in 30 years. By next year.

This one will go faster than he came

Take it to Kigali, they will appreciate it

Sorry sir you.......

I once failed a subject at cut cozy a lecturer always explaining fundamental facts Ka afrikaans bbuy lingo

As Africans we can regreat of not Developing our own African languages for them to Academically and Commercial compete with Afrikaans and English.

😂 😂 😂 😀

Really 'Afrikaans' this is not Mboweni the comrade

reoshebile mboweni rethotse fela

What a fool.

He'll definitely regret distancing himself from Ba Tsonga in his 2nd pension

tito_mboweni I concur with you. Afrikaans is only spoken here in RSA just like our African languages. We must focus our efforts in elevating our languages to the same level as Afrikaans or even higher. English is a Colonizers languages it doesn’t makes us better as a people.

Dm for a professional elegant logo and get yours today.. Plzz RT

Ha ha ha. They fased out afrikaans for social cohesion. Ha ha ha. These university clowns really think everyone is stupid.

Why?

Unpopular opinion: black people will fight other black people all while tweeting in English_ let me know if u get it

There's something wrong with this guy now, like for real!! What about other languages which are not taught at that varsity?

Out of touch with reality. The sooner we install the government of EFF the bettrr!

Minister I don't no is tablets you take oh need to be taking you crazy Mr Mboweni.

What a disgrace

Only if Afrikaners also gave me shares in their companies then I would also agree with you. But for now tjey only selected u and Pravin as their generals so only u and Pravin will regret

tito_mboweni

House nigga mentality. He's one of the uncle Toms & Sams roaming around the corridors of ANC trying his best to talk & look like his slave master. When the revolution start he should get killed real quick before he infiltrate us & mess the whole team up.

See the stats...how can you remove it from UP, if it is the 3rd most spoken language in South Africa

The CJ Mogoeng on the ConCourt case on the UFS dropping Afrikaans as a medium of instruction said the continuous use of Afrikaans 'would leave the results of white supremacy not being redressed but kept alive and well' ... Does Minister Mboweni disagree with this?

He must join Mmusi this guy...

Who is doing business in Afrikaans except when farmers talk to each other? 🤔🙄

Yaz i thought you were a good choice when you were appointed, but eish tito wa lapisa

Rubbish yonke le...

Wa nya wo!

Somebody please confiscate the Minister’s Phone!!!

🤨🤨🤨🤨

Bullshit

Another Lekota loading.

I hope that after elections there will be a new minister of finance. We do not need tranformation blockers as leaders. TitoMboweni

Who is we? Are you us? 😂😂😂

The basic problem is that Afrikaans classes have the effect of racial separation, which is problematic. Ideally we should have multi-lingual universities, but that costs money. Given looting, state capture, SOEs gov does not have funding for basics, let alone lofty ideals.

That is backward thinking hosi yanga

As EFF We are also phasing it out of our national anthem and as an official language.

How so? Can u elaborate Mr Minister? What do u know that the Tuks Management do not?

Khanda lakhe ali thati kahle

Change is good, sometimes. I believe the University of Pretoria, had thought about this decision for a long time, & I applaud them, I am sure it wasn't easy , well done! UP 👏👏👏

Nonsense

Count us out mister kulo 'we'll regret'

Another puppet, friend of Lekota...🙆🏿‍♂️

Ja Tito ou swaar. So bek moet jam kry. Vir die res van julle hier.... tsek!!!!

We will regret nothing

They say some black people hate themselves more the way whites hate them, Titose is one of them...

Terror Lekota’s brother

Why are we forced to do whites things when they do nothing that is African? Tsek wena maaan. Mxxxm.

I disagree. Strongly.

Tjatjarag

This old man needs to be examined upstairs. Something is wrong with him

NgesiZulu sithi udakwe obamaganu lo us'jwayela kabi usesuthi that is why ekhuluma umsuzo

I also wish there were classes taught in African languages, but someone has to write the books in those languages first. It's not that simple.

🤮🤮🤮

Hebanna this fool. Next we should phase out racism if that does not work we should phase out racists

Ask him who 'We' is.

Regret eng tota...

uTito utheth'umnqundu kanjani,makayothetha lomnqundu ngapha kwamsunu

U are out of order Mr Finance minister

Only he will regret it to be honest, the majority of this country wont. If UP was a private varsity it would be fine, as a public institution it must cater to the needs of majority. The arrogance n discrimination non afrikaaner students experience at UP is just criminal

Tito Mboweni unye net daar

The old man is not well upstairs. He must go and claim his pension fund fund now.
