Correction: We only have 11 official languages. I depends on what school you choose, but mother tongue education is given. I am Afrikaans, but went to a Afrikaans-English primary school. I had all my classes in Afrikaans. We have English as a subject. We also had Xhosa as a subject. When I went to high school, I went to an all Afrikaans school. Had all my classes in Afrikaans, except English as a subject. Xhosa isn't compulsory in high school, but you can still choose to do it. In my high school we could also choose to do German / French. Some schools also have Spanish, etc. But according to region / province, the third language will differ, when you are Afrikaans / English, for example you will have Tswana as a third language when you live up north and Xhosa as a third language when you live south. This is just a very rough explanation!
