Lesersbrief: Hoekom nou die Taalmonument opeis?Taalmonument in die Paarl. (Foto: Verskaf) Wendy Kriel skryf: In 1966 people came to my school in Kimberley. They were there to collect funds from the Afrikaans-speaking children for a monument that was going to be put up. Although I was in the English-speaking class, I wanted to give money to this monument to celebrate the Afrikaans language. I am proud of my Afrikaans heritage (even as a little English girl) and I gave money. My children are always proud of my story that I have a few cents in that monument. We pass the monument often. We laugh about my small donation. How can other language groups lay claim to a monument that was specifically fundraised by the Afrikaans community? Just wondering.
