Youth reclaim a language and history

Manenberg youth reporters

Welcome to the Radio Workshop!
The documentary “Afrikaaps” was screened at a community centre in Manenberg, Cape Town. The film looks at the history behind the unique way Afrikaans is spoken in Cape Town.The room was packed with dozens of excited young people. They laughed, they were puzzled, they cheered and it would seem, they were somehow transformed. After the movie, CRF young reporters and the members of the film crew, director Dylan Valley, hip-hop artist Quintin ‘Jitsvinger’ Goliath and poet Jethro Louw got talking. What follows is a dialogue about language, identity, diversity, and pride.
