and discuss the various influences on the English language. Assignment 02 entails an
exploration of the role of English in shaping identity and social dynamics within post-
apartheid South Africa.

How does the dominance of English over multiple other languages in post-apartheid
South Africa shape citizens' negotiations of their linguistic identities and
influence perceptions of belonging, citizenship, and cultural heritage? Your
response should include a consideration of the degree to which English effectively
contributes to bridging societal divides and fostering national unity in South Africa. You
are expected to write a coherent and cohesive essay of approximately 1000-1500
words.
PREVIEW
Essay
In post-apartheid South Africa, English is the main language used in many areas of life,
like government, schools, and business. This happened because of historical reasons,
like colonialism and apartheid. Back then, English was seen as the language of power
and privilege, while indigenous languages were not valued as much.
