4. Language Policy of the Municipality: It was brought to the attention of the Committee that all correspondence from the municipality was only in Afrikaans. This resulted in communication problems for those councilors who did not understand Afrikaans or who preferred correspondence in at least one other language, preferably English. It was mentioned by a councilor that the translation facilities of the District Municipality had been offered to the municipality but was not acted on. The Speaker and some councilors claimed there was no problems i.r.o language policies while others insisted that the problem did exist.
