Great initiative however....tourist then come to South Africa only to find out that nobody or very few of the people where they stay (unless they have a foreign language speaking guide) speak any of their languages. Problem is that the educational system is not on par with the tourism industry!!! No foreign languages are educated in high school and there where they do, the spoken and written language skills are very poor. So there is much more work to do than info brochures of all sorts.
