The past government in South Africa promoted Afrikaans by making it an official language alongside English, introducing it as the medium of instruction in schools, and encouraging its use in government and public institutions. This move was part of a broader policy to elevate Afrikaans as a symbol of Afrikaner cultural identity.

Additionally, assimilation was often seen as a means to facilitate economic integration and ensure loyalty to the state.
