Annotation

This paper examines the emergence of a gap between formal South African ‘multilingual’ educational policy and actual language practices at (national and) institutional level, discussing in particular the decline of English-Afrikaans bilingualism at the University of Port Elizabeth, since 2005 part of the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University.
