The Democratic Alliance (DA) in the Western Cape says it refuses to adopt any proposed changes to the name of the Afrikaans Language Monument in Paarl without a fight.

The DA in collaboration with leading Afrikaans artists present a historic protest concert in Paarl against a plan to remove Afrikaans from the Taal Monument.The DA in collaboration with leading Afrikaans artists present a historic protest concert in Paarl against a plan to remove Afrikaans from the Taal Monument.

This comes amid a furor over the possible renaming of the monument erected over four decades ago to celebrate the language and its heritage. Singe is among a group of Afrikaans artists who performed at the #WysJou Taal protest concert in demonstrating their opposition to any proposed change to the name of the Language Monument.

Freedom Front’s André Fourie says, “The high one represent the Dutch influence because that is where Afrikaans comes from. It also represents the influence of other Europeans languages like the French and Huguenots. The middle there’s a little wall that also represents a community of Asian descent, the Malay slaves that came to South Africa.”

Afrikaans is an official language in South Africa so I don't see the reason for name changes. All I see is time and Government resources being used to discriminate some citizens, cause racial & tensions

Tough luck

Our_DA Name change is a waste of money, why can't they build a monument in KZN or EC with a Zulu or xhosa name them.
