Tuesday 01 February 201191% of SA's population speaks a language other than English at home.More than nine out of ten people.Here is another district. It has 12 countries, and only 3% of the population are native English speakers.That's about one third of the number we have here.So in South Africa, about three people in 30 speak English at home.In district 81, it's only 1 person in 30.Nobody in this room.
