May 21 -- As of next year, Grade-R and Grade-1 pupils at public schools will have to learn an African language.
 Currently, some schools offer indigenous languages but it's not compulsory.
Most have welcomed the policy as a stepping stone to a more integrated society. But teachers' union Sadtu has warned more planning is necessary to ensure the plan is rolled out properly. School governing bodies will decide which languages will be taught at their schools.
