I can't speak afrikaans and would like to move to George western cape, would this be a problem

Tamlyn

dont worry nearly all Afrikaners can speak English, and business is always in English. I am an English speaking south african (my afrikaans is really bad and so is my husbands) and we recently m oved to a VERY Afrikaans town and so far have not had a problem at all, we've found the Afrikaans people extremely accommodating.
