Afrikaans literature

Afrikaans literature is literature written in Afrikaans. Afrikaans is a daughter language of Dutch and is spoken by the majority of people in the Western Cape of South Africa and among Afrikaners and mixed race South Africans in other parts of South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland. Afrikaans used to be one of the two official languages of South Africa, (the other was English,) but it currently shares the status of an "official language" with ten other languages.
