The big problem with Prof Jansen is he is trying to bring across an intellectual message to people who approach everything emotionally.

As an Afrikaans speaker, I agree with him completely. I ended up doing my highschool classes in English & switching over to higher grade Math in Matric in English was a bitch! I did all my studies thereafter in English and I see no point why we should bother with other languages (afr. included). It doesn't make sense. We aren't developed enough to operate independently.

You'd do yourself a big favour if you start listening more to what Prof Jansen & Moeletsi Mbeki have to say.
