I cannot tell how often I watched this documentary. Royce Buda is such an inspiration. I’m able to communicate in eight languages. And since the war in Ukraine started I interpret almost everyday between Russian and my mother tongue German. Now I know how important it is to know languages. Also I experienced exactly the things he said. Is it possible to contact Mr.Buda? I would be delighted if I could tell him my story and how he affected me.
Best regards from Germany
I would like 2 know besides the 11 official languages, what other languages this man can speak
I'm so proud of Buda! He comes across as an excellent, humble servant. Really chuffed to see positive content on my country. Thanks DW!
Afrikaans opened Africa to the science world.

My God! How good to watch such a documentary. Royce Buda is inspiration to all of us. And I can state here one thing: I have never met anyone who has regretted having studied.
M inspired 🍃🍃
Such a beautiful story. What a compassionate man. He has a very close relationship with language and uses his understanding to inform as well as to convey passion and emotion. You can see the care and concern for the people in his eyes. Love it.
He's invaluable.
I speak 3 languages and feel illiterate after watching the video
16 languages? Don't think so.
Rly interesting dude 🙂
Eleven official Languages ? that's deep !
an average person in South African speaks 3+ languages (exl white people).
Funny, I am in Nairobi and still I ca understand some of the Languages the elder is speaking.
Niice, he speaks Swahili…
That lawyer was fine as hell.
AN amazing man..DW better than Aljazeera, CNN, MSNBC, NBC , Fox, Sky, BBC, Euronews etc….Thumbs up DW
South Africa have the backing of countries all around the world, that's why they will take back there land. Zimbabwe did not have the backing of the international community but in South Africa Case, they have the of China which is one of the most powerful nation on earth and will be the new world power.
Learning languages and practicing them are the most invaluable treasure on EARTH.
but why are you repeating to interpret in English when this white lady has just said it in English. dumb and obsessed about your english
Education and knowledge are the great equalizers.
how can people ever get ahead when they are fragmented into so many language groups? Can they all read? What information is available to them in these languages?
Whites need to leave Africa.
16 languages, damn incredible man!
Muito bom, parabéns pelo grande serviço que presta as pessoas. Por isso estudo diversos idiomas e vou aprender tantos quanto for possível. 💙🌟👍📈💎
Race based land expropriation without pay is not a policy in agreement with equal rights.
#Reporters thank you
With all her education and privilege if this lawyer really valued it she could have easily learned how to speak and understand Zulu or Xhosa which are more commonly spoken that Afrikaans and English. But they don't bother to learn African languages because they see themselves as superior.
DW Documentary: GET SUBTITLES AND STOP USING TERRIBLE DUBS
There is no chance this guy speaks 16 languages fluently lol, definitely not well enough to translate legal processes…
Court reporters are important world wide. They keep the fact straight.
Thank you DW Documentary..
This news broadcast is is astonishing… Royce Budha is proof any one man and women can achieve education.. Sixteen Languages along side dialects.. Amazingly i never heard of Royce Budha until today.. Thank you again
South Africa is a terrible place, run by people who are unable to gouvern themselves.
