dc.description.abstractThe events of 1976 drew attention in no uncertain way to the contention surrounding the language issue, in this case the enforced use of Afrikaans as a partial medium of instruction. It was by no means a new struggle. The controversial language policies recommended by the Eiselen Report which was the foundation of Bantu Education, had even older antecedents. Language policies are a kind of code which, when deciphered can speak of underlying class struggles. For the purposes of this paper I concentrate on the person of Werner Eiselen and the language policies he enforced as Chief Inspector of Native Education in the Transvaal in the course of the 1930s.en_US
