As part of its regular internal training programme, IOPSA
has introduced training for its staff to learn the basics of the
Zulu language. This will enable staff to greet and make basic
conversation with Zulu speakers.
In addition to English and Afrikaans, Zulu is one of the most widely-spoken
languages in South Africa, with over 27 million people who can confidently
use Zulu.
People who speak Zulu in South Africa:
• Over 27 million people confidently use Zulu in Mzansi.
Total amount of people who use Zulu abroad:
• Quite a respectable number: 202 100.
Where is it used?
• Lesotho: 51 000 speakers, located mainly in the Butha-Buthe and
Leribe districts.
• Malawi: 37 500 speakers, residing in the Dedza, Karonga, Mzimba,
and Ntcheu districts.
• Mozambique: 3 000 speakers, all within the Maputo province.
• Swaziland: 106 000 speakers, which is just under 10% of the
