âAfriforumâs fight for Afrikaans aims to restore apartheid privileges at Unisaâ Share Johannesburg - Afriforumâs fight for reinstatement of Afrikaans as a language of learning and teaching at Unisa is intended to restore apartheid privileges. Matthew Chaskalson SC has made this submission on behalf of Unisa at the Constitutional Court, which was hearing the universityâs bid to appeal a ruling that declared its new language policy unconstitutional and unlawful. Unisa lost to Afriforum at the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) last year, prompting its appeal application at the apex court. The university adopted a language policy in 2016 that removed Afrikaans as a dual medium of teaching and learning along English.
