Madlingozi, Mr BS to ask the Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture
Whether, given the low levels of literacy in the Republic, he has plans for a collaboration between the Pan South African Language Board (PanSALB) and the Department of Basic Education to ensure that each child is able to speak, read and write in their mother tongue from as early as Grade 2?

The Honourable Member will recall that I responded to this question in September of 2019. It was question No: 85. The status is still the same.
