#662016-07-13 21:41I signed this petition to support the SA Deaf citizens' demand that their language, South African Sign Language, be recognised as equal to the other official languages of South Africa and given the status as the 12th official language of South Africa. This will be an important step forward to equal opportunities, equal access and equal participation in all community processes. |

#682016-07-14 08:14South Africa has a large population of deaf people who are disadvantaged in accessing service where there are no sign interpreters available. As I work in the health professions field, this is problematic when trying to obtain information from patients and in explaining their condition to them |

#692016-07-14 09:21I support sign language and how are deaf people supposed to communicate with others if they dont understand sign language? Its like English is a must have language if you are Afrikaans because if you go overseas you most likely need to speak English or people that doesnt understand Afrikaans speak English. Same for Sign Language. Its no different. |

#702016-07-14 17:53The reason why i sign the petition was, i fully SUPPORT this cause. Why, i grew up with my younger sister who is hearing impaired and the LANGUAGE we use is SIGN LANGUAGE . Just as we all have respect for the 11 offical Languages in South Africa. I feel that the Language of Deaf Community deserve the same recognition as our other 11 Official Languages. |
