The Department of Afrikaans and Dutch, German and French recently held a Language Day Festival to coincide with the National Language Day. The purpose of the festival was for staff members to have language-related fun around a typical braaivleis with traditional boerewors and a Dutch stroopwafel. Staff members were treated to, amongst other activities: Afrikaans, Dutch, German and French music, a DVD about the translation project by Prof. Naomi Morgan, and a short drama. Pictured are staff members of the department performing in a drama as part of the days festivities.
