I remember well my first interview as a student journalist for Die Matie Student Newspaper. My first visit to the vice-chancellor's office, I was a nervous ball of energy, as I - a first-year - had to interview professor Andreas van Wyk after nine turbulent years at the helm. Asked a question about Stellenbosch's role in the rest of Africa, he answered, 'it's a delicate balancing act', which we also used as the article head. In fact, twelve years later, this remains the most apt phrase to explain Stellenbosch's continuous struggle with The Language Issue.
