Schultz emphasized this point during Heritage Day celebrations in Johannesburg, highlighting the importance of community involvement in language preservation. To elaborate further on Mr. Schultz's sentiments Elvis Presslin spoke to Julius Dantile, Head of Languages at the Pan South African Language Board (PanSALB)
