Language activists have launched the Nama San Language Curriculum in Upington in the Northern Cape. Their aim is to safeguard the continued existence of the San languages, many of which are on the brink of extinction.

They further intend to develop learning materials and a colourful Nama-San, English and Afrikaans glossary.

“We can help this language not to get extinct. A language is not just something that we talk about. A language tells your story, it tells your history. It tells you who you are, where you come from and where you are going. To me, for now, my focus is on the little children. It is easier for them to learn. When you are older, you only learn something that is important to you.”

The Northern Cape Education Department says they have always been at the forefront in the preservation and promotion of indigenous languages. A twinning agreement between the Department and the Namibian Kharas-region in 2017 saw the Nama language being introduced as an extra subject at two schools in Riemvasmaak and Kuboes.
