It's racism. Why only in Afrikaans coz only 12% of people speak Afrikaans. Why not in Vhenda or Zulu

This airline will soon disappear

The backlash came from Zimbabwean foreigners, we don’t have a problem with Afrikaans...especially when used to set us apart from these unwanted rascals from the continent 🚮
