Arts and Culture Minister Paul Mashatile has stated that the draft of South African languages bill will ensure that all eleven languages are used.

He also mentioned that in future the languages must be utilized in a fair and equal manner.

Government needs to ensure that at least one indigenous language is used in service delivery to the people.

Mashatile added that the Pan South African Language Board has not been effective in promoting multilingualism in the country.
