English Academy of Southern Africa

The English Academy of Southern Africa is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting all forms and functions of English.

The vision of the Academy is of southern Africa as a region of multilingual democratic societies in which effective English is available to all who wish to use it, where competent instruction in the language is readily accessible, and in which the country's diverse linguistic ecology is respected.

The English Academy is very sad to note the recent passing of Prof. Stan Ridge. Stan was President of the Academy from 2009 to 2012 when he retired. He was part of the management at the University of the Western Cape until his retirement. His acute insight into university administration was one of the many talents he had as a leader. And his love for English was boundless. We will miss his wisdom and inspiring presence at Academy events. We sincerely extend our condolences to his wife, Elaine, and their children.
