> South Africa is a predominantly anglophone country, with 11 official languages. Afrikaans isn't even one of the top 2 mother tongues. Yes but it's 3rd after Zulu and Xhosa. And I find it amusing that you say that SA is a predominantly anglophone country, when more people speak Afrikaans in South Africa than English.
