QUESTION 1 (3 ANSWERS PROVIDED)
INTERPRETATION OF SECTION 29(2) OF THE CONSTITUTION IN MIKRO PRIMARY
SCHOOL AND HOËRSKOOL ERMELO CASES
Introduction
The interpretation of Section 29(2) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, which
enshrines the right to receive education in the official language or languages of one's choice,
has been a contentious issue in South African courts. Two landmark cases that have contributed
significantly to this interpretation are The Western Cape Minister of Education v The Governing
Body of Mikro Primary School 2005 (10) BCLR 973 (SCA) and Head of Department:
Mpumalanga Department of Education and Another v Hoërskool Ermelo and Another [2009]
ZACC 32. This analysis will explore how the courts in these cases interpreted Section 29(2) and
the implications of their judgments on language policy in public schools.
