CONSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC
• Constitution Act 108 of 1996 section 6(4) states that the national government and provincial government, by legislation and other measures, must regulate and monitor their use of official languages. Without detracting from the provisions of sub section 2, all official languages must enjoy parity of esteem and must be treated equally.
• Constitution provides for the establishment of the Pan South African Language Board
5
The Pan South African Language Board was created by the Constitution of the
Republic of South Africa Act 108 of 1996. In terms of section 6(5) of the said
Constitution, it states that a Pan South African Language Board be established
by national legislation which must:
(a) Promote and create conditions for, the development and use of-
(i) all official languages;
(ii) the Khoi, Nama and San languages; and
(iii) South African Sign language; and
(b) Promote and ensure respect for-
(i) all languages commonly used by communities in South Africa.
PANSALB MANDATE
OTHER GOVERNING LEGISLATIONS
• PanSALB act as amended;
• The use of the official language act;
• Norms and rules;
• Articles of associations for PanSALB structures:
• Memorandum of association;– PLCs– NLBs– NLUs
• PFMA
• Treasury regulations
• Public services Regulations
• Companies Act
6
THE PUBLIC FINANCE MANAGEMENT ACT 1 OF 1999
• The PFMA Act lists PanSALB as a schedule 1 institution meaning that
it is one of the Institutions that Support Democracy, which is not the
case in the Constitution as already indicated.
7
THE PANSALB ACT OF 1995 AS AMENDED IN 1999
• The PanSALB Act as amended serves as a guideline to the
PanSALBs operations and also touches on aspects of governance as
well.
• The amendments made on the PanSALB Act implies that PanSALB is
a schedule 3A Public Entity as it gives the Minister the authority to
appoint and disband the PanSALB Board as per the Act. This also
creates a contradiction to the PFMA.
