| Abstract | There is no politically neutral theory of language planning, in spite of the fact that the power elites tend only to examine language policy under conditions of crisis. In South Africa, language planning was associated with the discredited racist social engineering of the apartheid era, especially because of the deleterious effects of Bantu education and because of the stigma of collaboration that came to be attached to the Bantu language boards. The same conditions, however, gave rise to an enduring ethos of democratic language planning (by NGOs and by some community-based organisations). This tradition, together with the peculiarities of the negotiated settlement, has had a lasting influence on the character and modalities of language planning agencies in post-apartheid South Africa. The article explores the implications of consociational and orthodox liberal democratic approaches for language planning in South Africa and underlines the persuasive effects of integrating a costing component into every language planning proposal, given the tendency of middle-class elites to exaggerate the economic cost of any policy change.
