    Media Release Minister of Mining, Dr. Susan Shabangu making mockery of South African Sign Language (SASL) Youtube video link: http://youtu.be/Vom6cF0Fpbc Many Deaf and hard of hearing viewers of South Africa were thrilled to see that South African Sign Language (SASL) interpreter was available during the President Jacob Zuma's state-of-the-nation address on last Thursday night. For first time in my life, President Jacob Zuma, in his address to the nation, announced that SASL curriculum will be implemented in schools from 2015. This affirms that the Government of South Africa still believes in implementation. I trust South African government and Deaf Federation of South Africa (DeafSA) will work closely in the process of implementation of the SASL curriculum. It was Zuma's announcement that sign language would be included in the school curriculum that had MPs roaring with waving hands. Minister of Higher Education and Training Dr. Blade Nzimande responded jovially by waving his hands in air. In Deaf culture, Deaf audiences will use a more visually expressive variant of clapping. Instead of clapping their palms together, they raise their hands straight up with outstretched fingers and twist their wrists. It is because those Deaf persons cannot hear clapping but they can see waving hands. I felt inspired by the reaction from Dr. Blade Nzimande as this was a testament of hard work the Deaf and hard of hearing community in South Africa, Member of Parliament Dr. Wilma Newhoudt-Druchen and especially DeafSA have done since the dawn of our freedom and democracy. By officially recognizing SASL, Deaf people can enjoy their rights on equal basis with others, as enshrined in the constitution and improve their quality of life by means of equal education opportunities.
