60% of learners learn in an African language/mother tongue from Grade 1. By Grade 4, 95% of learners have English/Arikaans as a medium of instruction. Taylor & Von Fintel (2016) research found learners who receive instruction in their mother tongue perform better academically.

If your worth comes through getting approval from parents or friends you’ll always have an “anxiety disorder.”

Christmas day, some families don't know where to get a decent meal. Especially ones depending on solely on social grants. Please lend a hand so they at least can have a decent meal and toiletries for the rest of the holidays. Please share my post and assist with cash donations🙏
