Abstract
This paper looks broadly at the situation of the Government’s Language Policy in schools and at the declining numbers of pupils opting to take isiZulu as a first additional language subject in KwaZulu-Natal compared to Afrikaans. In particular, the recent court case against Durban High School (DHS) in 2008 will be examined as well as the impact of this case generally with regards second language teaching in KwaZulu-Natal.
