Although the Constitution mentions sign language, it does not give it official status. The deaf community is often marginalised in terms of service delivery and access to information. Deafblind SA National Director Philip Dobson says, “We are very happy our language is getting the same recognition as other languages. Many deafblind can only communicate via sign, because it’s the only language you can feel and touch and get information from.”

Cabinet approved the Constitution 18th Amendment Bill for public comment to recognise Sign Language, as the 12th official language:Speaking through her SA sign language interpreter, Parliament’s only deaf MP says there is room for improvement.
