Should Afrikaans be the most popular second language in schools?

Is Afrikaans the most important second language?

Ralton Deleeuw: “No, I think Zulu should be. It’s more commonly spoken.”
Jennifer Meyer: “It should be most common because it’s very important and shouldn’t be removed from the curriculum.”
Yusuf Mitha: “Yes and no. It’s important to be multilingual but being in retail I’ve realised that more people speak Zulu.”
Themba Mzangwa: “No, it shouldn’t be because it’s a difficult language and affects your overall academic performance.”
Nkhensani Mabunda: “No, right now I’m struggling to get a high school for my sister-in-law because she currently doesn’t do Afrikaans.”
Nomsa Mbangeni: “I did Afrikaans as a first language and I don’t think it’s fair because it’s more important to be fluent in your home language.”
