Quotes

Dwayne Bailey, founder and managing director of Translate.org.za said, "As 2006 is the year of African languages, it seems only right that an organisation adressing language issues in ICT should win the ICT achievers awards for briding the digital divide"

Abe Mathibela, relationship manager at Translate.org.za said, "Its a breakthrough, now the common myths and falacies that we can't use computers in our languages has been challenged.  There are a whole lot of things that can now happen across Africa to challenge the exclusion of African languages."
