Description:
The Afrikaans Language Monument is one of many language monuments in the world and also in South Africa. The oldest one we know of in South Africa is in Burgersdorp in the Eastern Cape, and was erected in 1893 in recognition of the Dutch language. The Free State towns of Kroonstad and Welkom both erected monuments for the Afrikaans language in 1959, but many other towns in South Africa erected their own small monuments in the 1970s during the construction of the Taalmonument in Paarl. We are aware of more than 20 such monuments all over South Africa.
