Ryanair has dropped a requirement for South African passengers to prove their nationality before travelling by completing a test in Afrikaans, Chief Executive Michael O’Leary said after the policy drew a backlash among South Africans.

Afrikaans is spoken by just 12% of the 58 million people in the country and is often associated with apartheid and white minority rule.

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 🚮
