Military judge slammed for his stance on Afrikaans

The Freedom Front Plus and the Democratic Alliance have reacted strongly to alleged remarks by a military judge that he finds official correspondence in Afrikaans disgusting. In his findings during a trial in Cape Town last year, Lieutenant Colonel Mbulelo Mandela apparently put it on record that to him it was disgusting that at this time and age there is still official correspondence or official communication in Afrikaans, because English is the official communication language of the SANDF. The FF Plus is to submit a complaint over the matter to the Human Rights Commission and the Pan South African Language Board. The DA has urged Defence Minister Mosiuoa Lekota to intervene.
