The Afrikaans media, to me, means that I have a second soul, a second way of looking at life, at people through another window. I often get a more nuanced sense of the world as I discover layers of narratives, stories and ideas, which do not necessarily always reveal themselves in a monolingual English environment.frikaans is my mother tongue and Afrikaans media addresses me in the language in which I grew up, dream and swear. It is my default setting. I believe it means the same to our Afrikaans readers. Most of them understand English and can also read, write and speak it.
