- 2025| South African Associ...Globally, languages fulfil various functions in different contexts such as business, education, law, and communication among others. The purpose of this study is to examine the factors that contribute to the lack of motivation and limited opportunities for advancements of the multilingualism programme implemented at the University of Zululand, specifically focusing on the Dlangezwa campus. The data was gathered through active listening to the statements made by University of Zululand staff that participated in a forum held on 17 July 2023, when the SADiLaR organization conducted a visit to the university of Zululand to evaluate the implementation of the language policy and assess available resources. Thereafter in-depth interviews were from different departments to investigate challenges in promoting multilingualism in the university of Zululand. A qualitative approach was adopted in conducting the current study. The present study employed Language Management Theory as a frame work for the analysis of the acquired data. The findings of the research indicate that the University of Zululand’s mere desire for the successful implementation of a multilingual discourse plan is insufficient. It is crucial to consider various factors, including the development and incorporation of techno logical tools that can accommodate isiZulu as a language for teaching and learning.
