I back Kiswahili 💯 but if it cannot come to Fruition I suggest 2/3 main languages in each region-
West Africa-Hausa, Wolof, Fula
Central Africa- Kikongo, Lingala
Southern Africa- IsiZulu, Setswana, Nyanja
East Africa- Kiswahili
I base this off population, influence & other lang. linked in-similarity to those mentioned. Also if it cuts across one country or more.
Hongela sana Bwana Malema. Swahili ni lugha tukufu balani africa 🇷🇼
Hakuna matata sisi sote tutajifunza kiswahili na kuitumia kwa mawasiliano. Asante sana.
Hakika kabisa! Replace all those colonial languages with ki-swahili. Kiswahili kitukuzwe! Asante sana.
It is very practical and important to have a common language as Swahili in the continent of Africa. Each country should continue to have at least two of its local languages as the compulsory language of the country.
All African languages should be encouraged since losing a language means losing your culture. And to return ourselves on the tract, we must embrace our culture , not make believe nonsense.
Jina lako ni nani– Wewe ni nani…………Name and Identity—your ❤🖤💚❤🖤.
One love Malema Affrrica Unite
Swahili is coming from árabe is not a bantous languages
This is why I love Julius malema , Africa need unified language now enough is enough
Teach the primary and university the primary schools!
Fantastic. As for African-Americans that move to the continent, it would be cool to learn the language as a first step to reintroduce ourselves back into African society.
🇰🇪Twawakaribisha Africa mashariki..mjifunze kiswahili kitukuzwe..shukrani
Ibrahim Traoré 🇧🇫 fort.
To all my east African brothers, to you my sister. Faarkk you for the insult and for using gis channel for your faarking following. My parents and grand parents went through apartheid bot for you to conveniently make gun of OUR suffering
I totally agree with Mr Julius Malema. colonial languages is too bad.
Julius Nyerere's vision has to be completed. We need an African Language as Africans , The whites has English , the Chinese has Mandarin , Africans all over the world have speak Swahili.
I have been saying this all this time, the time has come for Africans to be one and the only thing that can bring unity to Africans is when we speak one language.
I support this.. Marcus Garvey called for Swahili to be the language of Pan Africanism originally so I support this 💯
Why Swahili?
Does Malema speak Swahili?
He sure is trying hard to be relevant!
What a chancer! 🥱
Did you know, Arab slave traders and their black Askaris used Swahili to communicate with each other? Julius knows only one Bantu language (Pedi) He communicate in English himself. Nb there will be no Swahili in South Africa. He must go and live in a country that uses Swahili
No need for swahili when Biafra is recognized as a sovereign state. Spanish will be the best common language for Biafrans that the Biafran generation in 20 years to be recognized as the unifying language amongst all Biafrans. Yes it will take 20 years.
This guy is a moron just like the people who clap for him. What's Artificial intelligence in Swahili? Or Aeroplane? What's engineering in Swahili?
I have my own mother tongue, am speaking No swahili
I'm also learning it
Yes i agree 100%
From 🇧🇮 I love malema from bottom of my heart
What he said I agree 100000% Africa can be United whereas we keep enjoying, speaking foreigners languages we have to choose our own language Swahili 🤝
Black people throughout Africa and the Diaspora should learn Swahili and two other languages to be able to communicate among ourselves!
This will also allow for more communication/collaboration among Black people and facilitate the trade of goods/products between/among African countries and between Africa countries and members of the Diaspora whether the Diaspora are located in South America, America, etc.!
This is great great great great news and indeed a common language throughout Afirca should be adopted ASAP and taught throughout the k-12 schools and colleges/universities!
Then, the corresponding goal is to revise the educational curriculum throughout the school system and revise the textbooks so that the students learn about the great African history, that they are the original people and the descendants of great great ancestors who ruled great great civilizations!
Also, more k-12 independently black-owned schools and vocational schools need to be created throughout Africa!
Great proposal ready to learn swahili
Absolutely, Malema, you have to respect a man that stands up. 🙌🙌
Take back your land
I hope you understand that not one person alive today will see this come to fruition. You can start it but you need to change your children's culture as to not follow anything that has come from any colonization linguistics. Speaking about USA, this is simply impossible because only a very small minority of blacks will actually want to do this. And that small minority will demand that the US government should be setting up schools to do this for them. And so it will just turn into another unrealistic complaint that will never end and become a political play that they will use to continuously string us along because we cannot face the fact that we are in present day.
English is the global lingua franca of commerce, but why is French so prominent in Africa?
Can he speak it?
No to Swahili yes to Amharic which is indigenous to Ethiopia the only African country that was never colonised
English is the language of making money.
I’m learning Swahili now, as well as Chinese I think both are going to be beneficial if I moved to Africa. I already speak English so…
Swahili is the language of slave traders, we don't want Swahili in South Africa
What has speaking Swahili done for the countries that speak it ?🤔😠
Nonsense ! Swahili is not viable as a continental language . It is just an East African language . Why don’t East Africans learn to speak Yoruba , Igbo or Pidgin English .
This nonsensical campaign should stop !😠
I am already learning my Swahili..also do not forget Amharic of Ethiopia. I am going to teach swahili in Liberian village in West Africa..yesssssooo
One Africa has to be the mindset
I'm white in America and I'll learn Swahili too this is a good idea
I have already started learning 🤷🏽♀️🇺🇸
How Ironic. English is the language of the people who ended the African Swahili Slave Trader, but you prefer the language of those who took millions of slaves and castrated them.
You are in the modern world, with all the things you enjoy are whether you like it or not, a result of colonialism. Swahili is the language of an Ethnic Group, The Swahili are a living breathing people. You will still need English to communicate with the world at large. Malema, is just a racist with a chip on his shoulder, he need to get over himself.
