Rustenburg- MEC for Sport, Arts and Culture Mme Tebogo Modise will on Friday April 11 launch the Provincial Language Stakeholder Forum at Orion Safari Hotel in Rustenburg.

The North West Provincial Language Committee in partnership with the Department and other Provincial Language stakeholders held a provincial language Indaba at Mmabatho Palms last year to discuss the language imperatives in the country.

“Subsequent to that, a Provincial Language Stakeholder was established mainly to focus on all matters of languages within the Province. Another main reason for the establishment of the forum is to bring together all language stakeholders, such as Government Departments, Community-based Organisations, Non-Governmental Organistions, municipalities, authors, writers forums, reading clubs and private entities amongst others, to share ideas” departmental spokesperson Shirley Montsho said.

The objective of the forum is to enhance a working relationship and strengthen partnership with various stakeholders.

“It will also serve as an enabler for the province to discharge its function on language imperatives guided by the NW Provincial Language Committee (NWPLC)” she said.

Purpose of the launch amongst others is to:
 formalize the Provincial Language Stakeholder Forum;
 Discuss the terms of reference of the Provincial Language Stakeholders Forum;
 Reprioritize activities programme for the financial year;
 Nominate members of the Executives and
 Pave a way forward.
