Charlize Theron SLAMMED by South Africans for claiming Afrikaans is 'a dying language which only 44 people still speak' - as fans blast: 'Don't let Hollywood allow you to disrespect us!'
[MAIL] Charlize Theron has been slammed by fans in her native South Africa for branding Afrikaans a 'dying language' and claiming only '44 people still speak it.'

The Oscar-winning actress, 47, who was born in Benoni, Gauteng Province, sparked a social media backlash when she said on US podcast Smartless on Monday: 'There's about 44 people still speaking it [Afrikaans] - it's definitely a dying language, it's not a very helpful language.

The Monster star's comments quickly invoked ire from South Africans on social media, who branded her 'disrespectful' and accused her of making the comments to 'appease Hollywood.'

#2 She was a big Mandela lover, too. Pretty lady but not much substantive matter between the ears.

#3 Now see, at the core it was just illegal immigration when the Boer's moved into the part of Africa the african's didn't live in until the Boers made it possible. I thought the Dems LOVED illegal immigration.
