Missionaries & field workers :Teaching indigenous languages in South Africa :
I am a South African staying in Pretoria and a coach/teacher of two of our indigenous languages in the country – Northern Sotho(Sepedi) and Afrikaans. Northern Sotho is spoken by 4.6 million people staying in Gauteng, Mpumalanga and the Limpopo province.
Since 2018 I have also been involved with the Bethlehem Stichting from the Netherlands – a missionary/upliftment organization working in South Africa. I am teaching their workers Northern Sotho/Afrikaans before and when they come to S.A.
I hereby offer my services to you. Please feel free to contact me.
I would like to know what impact has Christianity had on development in Africa or South Africa (specifically)?
