A Stellenbosch University project is aimed at making information about Covid-19 available to the South African deaf community.
The project, initiated by third-generation deaf sisters Vanessa Reyneke and Stephanie Lotz, was launched by the Department of General Linguistics in Stellenbosch University’s Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.
This is after they received numerous pleas for accessible information on Covid-19 from members of the deaf community.
Reyneke is the project co-ordinator for South African Sign Language (SALS) Learning and Teaching Support Material at the Department of General Linguistics.
